The Storm Whale

26 Nov – 24 Jan 2026

A Little Angel Theatre, York Theatre Royal, The Marlowe Theatre and Engine House co-production

Audiences will once again be transported to the quiet, windswept shore where Noi lives with his Dad and their six cats. When Noi discovers a little whale washed up after a storm, a tender friendship begins—one that forever changes both of their lives.

This beautiful adaptation follows Noi through the winter months, waiting and hoping for his whale friend to return. With themes of love, courage and connection, The Storm Whale remains one of Benji’s most cherished stories, and we’re incredibly proud to see it delight families on stage once more.

Following the journeys of a drifting snowflake, a little girl, and her Pappie, the production explores the search for belonging and the joy of finding your own special place in the world.

Charming, gentle and full of seasonal sparkle, this much-loved show offers the perfect introduction to theatre for younger children.
