The Snail Who Didn’t Want…His Shell, an intergeneration presentation

Watch it on Theatre Today’s FB live

“I don’t need my shell.”

“Your shell is your home,” the worm explained. “You’re lucky. You can crawl around in the open with your home. My home is a dark and wet hole.”

Should Senthil Snail remove his shell? Senthil loves to race and finds a way to beat his friends… but in the process learns that his shell is more valuable than he first believed it to be.

Inspired by Ramanathan Ramachandran’s The Snail Who Didn’t Want His Shell, theatre director Jeffrey Tan will conduct the storytelling session, accompanied by musician Saedah Samat . Local songs will be added to this moving story to bring the tale alive.
