Go on an extraordinary journey of life, death and other dimensions with multi-award winning theatre company The Last Great Hunt as they create a heartwarming cinematic adventure on stage with animation and film. Universal storytelling at its best.

Travel beyond the limits of our reality with a Wes Anderson style theatrical film, crafted live on stage. Blending puppets, animation and DIY digital magic, witness the onscreen story while experiencing the behind-the-scenes artistry in a cinematically playful, transcendent adventure. 

Pip is a downtrodden Antarctic scientist whose search for life's origins leads her far beyond the ice. When visions of an albino penguin guide her to a hidden dimension, everything she knows is turned upside down.  
Night Night is an invitation to explore the extraordinary mysteries hiding just beyond our reality. For curious minds (15+) and seekers of theatrical wonder who believe in the magic of live performance and soul touching stories.

Don't miss your chance to join a hands-on, 90-minute workshop where you will discover how The Last Great Hunt create original theatre – no script, no characters, just imagination and play. Learn more here.
