WALKABOUT SHOW
'A Snail's Tale' features Mishelle the giant left-handed snail, with Knight errant Sir Babosa and his mediaeval travel writer, hand drawn selfie artist and musical accompanist, Isabeau. Taking slowly to the streets, this snail out of lettuce trio search for love for the one in a million Mishelle, while Isabeau records the derring-do of Sir Babosa. In exchange for help on their quest, Sir Babosa and Isabeau - who often find themselves very lost - may gift you with a portrait of Mishelle, and if you're very lucky, a lovely, luscious lettuce.
