Award-winning puppet theatre piece by Half Moon / Half a String that combines puppetry, live folk songs and 90s synth, inspired by The Little Prince.
Tiny Planet comes to the Barnfield Theatre on Sunday 21 February 2027, with two performances that day: one at 11:00 and another at 14:00. It's a puppet theatre piece from Half Moon / Half a String, and it carries the echoes of The Little Prince, built around the idea that we can all sometimes feel impossibly small and infinitely gigantic.
The story follows an intergalactic space baker who crash-lands and discovers that the smallest things hold the biggest stories. It's a mix of breathtaking puppetry and live music—folk songs paired with 90s synth—while live cameras bring the world to life as it unfolds. The whole thing runs for 60 minutes with no interval, so you're in and out in an hour.
It's a Fringe Award winner with nine nominations, including Best Puppetry at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe, and critics have called it 'EXCEPTIONAL' and 'a unique piece of puppet theatre'. The two-show schedule on the one day makes it easy to fit in, whether you're after a morning out or a proper afternoon slot.
