Imagine a planet no bigger than a house which can be explored in a matter of minutes, yet is the centre of a galaxy. With breathtaking puppetry and live folk songs merged with big 90s synth, uncover the planet's mysteries. Live camera projection brings this Tiny Planet to life as an intergalactic space baker crash lands and learns the smallest things hold the biggest stories. A unique piece of puppet theatre from the company that brought you Breathe. Explore how we can sometimes feel impossibly small and infinitely gigantic.

Theatre and Art Review

Impressively intricate, creative in its form and also highly amusing, Tiny Planet is a spectacular piece of theatre that will wow all generations, from children to parents and grandparents in equal measure.

Kat Masterson

The puppeteers’ seamless flow, incredible Foley sounds, and exceptionally beautiful songs, sung by stand out performer O’Rourke, create an engaging and believable Universe.
