6 Centenary Square, Birmingham, B1 2EP
Description
Step into the fantastically imaginative and chaotic world of Planet Omar, following the adventures of an 8-year-old British-Pakistani Muslim boy with a wild imagination, a big heart, and a knack for getting into trouble.
When Omar's family moves to a new neighbourhood, he faces a whirlwind of challenges: a new school, an unfriendly neighbour, and a bully who makes every day feel like a battle. But with a little help from his family, best friend Charlie, and a very friendly dragon, Omar discovers his not-so-average imagination is his greatest strength.
Keep your eyes peeled for a gigantic piece of cheese, walking food, and dreams springing to life. Let your imagination run wild with this joyful, vibrant and hugely entertaining adventure for the whole family, brimming with warmth, humour - and delightful puppets!
This world premiere production tells an important and relevant story for all ages that celebrates empathy, community, and resilience.
"A big-hearted show that goes out of its way to engage its audience" ★★★★ - WhatsOnStage
