Tiny Planet
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 an intergalactic space baker, called Alma, who crash lands on a strange tiny world and discovers that the smallest things can hold the biggest stories.
Audiences are mesmerized as they join Alma’s journey to learn what truly matters in a hectic solar system.
With nine 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.
This unique piece of puppet theatre carries echoes of The Little Prince, exploring how we can all sometimes feel impossibly small and infinitely gigantic.
It is perfect for ages 5-11 and is designed for the whole family to enjoy in wonder, gasp in surprise, get hooked into the original story and engrossed in the intricate detail.
With thanks to support from Arts Council England and in partnership with Lakeside Arts.

Website Instagram FacebookAbout our work
Our productions don’t educate, as such, advocating instead that there are not always correct answers or solutions when talking about or addressing prejudice, social injustices, equality and social inclusion.
Like any good story, Tiny Planet allows the audience to join up their own dots, think creatively and ask questions so they can discover their own answers to complex issues, even at a very early age through, experiencing a high-quality theatre adventure.
