Planet Omar

A family show with puppets and a giant piece of cheese...

Presented in association with Birmingham Rep and children’s theatre company Unicorn, this Leeds Playhouse production is based on the critically acclaimed books by Zanib Mian. The show’s focus is the Omar of the title, an eight-year-old British-Pakistani Muslim boy who moves with his family to a new neighbourhood and finds himself faced with a host of challenges. Not least among these is an unfriendly neighbour and a bully who makes Omar’s life feel like a neverending battle. 

But all is not lost, thanks not only to the young lad’s nearest and dearest but also to his not-so-average imagination, his best friend Charlie and a very friendly dragon... The production is suitable for children aged seven-plus and comes complete with ‘delightful’ puppets, walking food and a giant piece of cheese...
