Zanib Mian: Planet Omar, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

What if the work is harder than at my last school? What if nobody wants to be my friend? What if the teacher is an alien?!

Step into the fantastically imaginative and chaotic world of Planet Omar , following the adventures of an 8-year-old with a wild imagination, a big heart, and a knack for getting into trouble. This vibrant new stage adaptation based on the beloved books by Zanib Mian has been brought to life by award-winning playwright Asif Khan.

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 courage, kindness, and a little help from his family and new best friend Charlie, Omar discovers his not-so-average imagination is his greatest strength.

This world premiere production is a joyful and funny celebration of empathy, identity, and resilience. With dynamic storytelling, playful visuals, and a heart-warming message, Planet Omar invites audiences of all ages to laugh, reflect, and cheer for a hero who dares to dream big, even when the odds are stacked against him.
Perfect for families and school groups, this adaptation is a powerful reminder that imagination can be a superpower, and that friendship and understanding can change the world.

This edition was published to coincide with the production by Leeds Playhouse, in association with the Unicorn Theatre and Birmingham Repertory Theatre in May 2026
