About this show
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 bought you Breathe. Explore how we can sometimes feel impossibly small and infinitely gigantic. 'Exceptional' * (Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe, 2024).

3.5 Stars Darcey O’Rourke’s live performance is an absolute standout in this production; her guitar, drum pad, and 90’s synth somehow mixed with folk are the undeniable heartbeat that drives this somewhat simple show…
Tiny Planet is playful, charming and full of heart. It may not be perfect – there a couple of moments when the energy dips – but persoinally it rekindled something I hadn’t thought about for years, and for that alone,…
— my Cultural life (4 out of 5 stars)
Tiny Planet is a brilliant family-friendly piece of theatre that has the power to spark imaginations and remind audiences why they first became enamoured with the creativity of the arts.
