One man's attempt to get his head round the universe.

"One Giant Leap is possibly one of the most ambitious works of children's theatre ever created" - The Telegraph ****

Have you ever had one of those moments, when Ping! A lightbulb seems to come on above your head and you suddenly understand something in a way you never did before? Well I had and it totally changed the way I look at the world.

One Giant Leap is an impossible attempt to bring the whole universe into a theatre and into our understanding, using a tennis ball, a wastepaper basket and a dash of theatrical invention. Iain Johnstone's passionate solo performance takes us on a spin through the solar system and the history of humanity's relationship with the heavens - and then back down to Earth.

Funny and serious, intelligent and silly, theatre and lecture, cosmic and personal, One Giant Leap is a true story about what we take for granted and what we choose to ignore.
