THE TALE OF THE LONELIEST WHALE

A beautiful new Hoglets play for children and families.

“I can hear someone out there. They’re singing to me.”

Whale sings his heart out into the ocean blue. But nobody will join his song.

Just as he feels like he will forever be alone, a quiet, beautiful voice reaches him through the noise of the sea. Whale sets off on a journey into deep coral caves, through glittering jellyfish blooms and past wild-eyed sea monsters, determined to find another who can hear his song.

Join Hoglets Theatre on a magical journey of singing whales who are finding out that being different can be difficult, but it can also be beautiful. A deep-sea adventure with a beautiful message of empathy, friendship and neuro-diversity overcoming adversity.

Loneliest Whale features beautiful handmade puppets, original songs and music and immersive, sensory experiences.
