The Tale of the Loneliest Whale

The ocean is full of songs, but no one can hear his.

“I can hear someone out there. They’re singing to me.”
 
Whale sings his heart out into the deep blue sea... but nobody sings back. Is he the only one like him in the whole ocean?

Just when he’s about to give up, a mysterious voice echoes through the waves. Determined to find the singer, Whale embarks on an unforgettable adventure—diving through glowing coral caves, dodging wibbly jellyfish, and facing wild-eyed sea monsters! But will he ever find a friend who hears his song?

Join Hoglets Theatre for an exciting deep-sea adventure packed with huge, beautiful puppets, hilarious sea creatures, original songs, and lots of audience interaction! The Tale of the Loneliest Whale is a magical, interactive show that celebrates friendship, difference, and the beauty of being yourself.

A beautiful new play from the makers of Wood Owl And The Box Of Wonders (Ed Fringe 2024).

Hoglets Theatre creates exciting theatre and storytelling experiences for children and families. Our productions are filled with energetic performances, original songs and music, puppets and immersive storytelling techniques. They are designed to be rich and engaging, whilst being flexible enough to perform almost anywhere.
