The Comet

Nyla moves from the city to the countryside with her Dad and her cat Fig. When a comet comes soaring through the city streets and starts to glow and grow, Nyla can’t resist following it. What starts as an escape could be just the thing to make her finally feel at home...

An extraordinary story about welcoming the new with songs, puppetry and plenty of magic.

The Comet is adapted for the stage from the book by award winning author and illustrator Joe Todd Stanton. Directed by Fiona Creese of theatre company Slot Machine who have previously adapted Norden Farm shows Kipper’s Snowy Day, Miki and One Snowy Night.
