EVEN SNAILS GET IN A HURRY SOMETIMES (6+)

A slow-motion show about a life that's going way too fast

Trying your very best. Really, really wanting something. Putting your best foot forward.
But what if your feet suddenly stop doing what you tell them to?
You’re overtaken — mercilessly — by someone else.
For one person, everything seems to come so easily,
while you’re left fumbling and flapping about.
But… is it really that bad to be slower than the rest?

Three colleagues are doing their absolute best to welcome children into a brand-new indoor play paradise.
They really, really want to open.
The slide has been polished, there’s live music for a festive touch,
and the trampoline’s been checked (safety first!).
They’re completely ready.
…Or are they?

Even snails get in a hurry sometimes (6+) is an exercise in patience.
How do you stay calm and kind when someone else is taking forever?
And can you still manage that when you’re so excited that every extra second feels like an hour?
