LITTLE ANGEL THEATRE

Noi lives with his Dad and their six cats by the sea. One spring, while his Dad was busy at work, Noi rescued a little whale that washed up on the beach during a storm. There a friendship began that changed their lives forever.

The following winter Noi’s Dad takes one last trip in his fishing boat. Noi is alone once more and longs to see his friend again. He waits and watches, watches and waits… will it take another winter storm to bring them back together again?

Duration - 1hr15 including an interval

Age guidance

The Storm Whale is aimed at ages 4-8. Our shows for this age group have storylines that can be followed and enjoyed by children from around age 4, and require a little more concentration than shows recommended from age 3. They may also use slightly more complex ideas, humour, dialogue or song lyrics that older children will get more out of. There is nothing really scary in these shows but they can be a bit more dramatic than those for the youngest children, including in their use of sound and lighting, and characters may face some perils.

Is there anything that might be scary or sad?

The theatre gets dark for some scenes that take place at night, and there is some mild peril when Noi goes looking for his dad and the boat is stuck in the ice, but he is soon rescued. The stories celebrate Noi’s friendship with the whale and his loving relationship with his dad. As part of this, at times he expresses feelings of loneliness, and there are a few references to an absent mum, but we see how his adventures help him to feel happy and secure.

Should I bring a child under four?

All ages are welcome at our shows and age ranges can only be a rough guide, but please bear in mind that our shows recommended from age 4 are a little different from our shows recommended from age 3. The production has built on the simple stories from the books and the language and pace of the storytelling are pitched at a slightly older age group. Younger children may get a little restless.
