Imagine a planet no bigger than a house that can be explored in a matter of minutes, yet is the centre of a galaxy. Tiny Planet brings to life the story of a intergalactic space baker, called Alma, who crash lands on a strange tiny world and discovers that the smallest things can hold the biggest stories.

Audience’s are mesmerized as they join Alma’s journey to learn what truly matters in a hectic solar system. With 9 Fringe Theatre Award nominations Tiny Planet uses breathtaking puppetry and live folk songs merged with big 90s synth, to uncover the planet’s mysteries. Live camera projection brings a whole new perspective as this Tiny Planet is explored.

Tiny Planet is perfect for ages 5-11yrs and is designed for the whole family to enjoy in wonder, gasp in surprise, and get hooked into our original story and engrossed in the intricate detail.

Recommended for ages 5+.

With thanks to support from Arts Council England and in partnership with Lakeside Arts.
