A Slow Tale

by Magda Borisova

in association with Theatre "Danny & Dessi"

Show Description

A Slow Tale is a gentle and imaginative puppet theatre production following one small snail’s journey through fear, friendship, and self-discovery. Along the way, Moody learns that courage doesn’t always mean being the fastest, sometimes it means trusting yourself and continuing forward.

Combining playful storytelling with handcrafted puppetry, the show invites young audiences and their families into a warm, reflective world where small steps can lead to big discoveries.

Originally created by Theatre "Danny & Dessi" (Bulgaria) and presented to UK audiences in collaboration with Letaniko Theatre, the production continues to tour in England and beyond.
