Space Girl

An action-packed play bursting with songs and imagination, celebrating curiosity, resilience and exploration.

Mary Moon is nine years old and dreams of travelling across the galaxy, just like her brave and brilliant astronaut father. But Mary hasn't seen her dad since last week, and nobody will tell her where he is…

Follow Mary on her journey through the solar system, as she faces meteors, monsters and the Sea of Sorrow in her mission to bring her dad back home.
