Wee Stories Theatre Company

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?

One Giant Leap is an impossible attempt to understand the whole universe, using a tennis ball, a wastepaper basket and a dash of theatrical invention. Iain Johnstone’s passionate solo performance begins on a simple journey of helping his son write a project on the moon and 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 asks us to think – about what we take for granted and about what we choose to ignore.
