Big Baby
20 January 2021

Once upon a time there was a baby. Only this was no ordinary baby.
This was a GIANT baby who would save the world!
Some days you feel really big and some days you feel really small.
Big Baby tells the funny and moving story of a Baby that is too big. Raised by her father, Big Baby makes a giant mess wherever she goes. So her father brings home a machine to help get rid of the mess. But this mysterious machine is not satisfied with getting rid of mess…it wants to get rid of everything! As the world disappears piece by little piece, Big Baby and her tiny father must work together to save all of humanity.
Combining puppetry, object theatre and a video microscope that shows intricate beauty in the tiniest of things, Terrapin’s new production Big Baby is a great show for the whole family.

Big Baby is full of entertainment, humour and pathos. The show doesn’t shy away from stepping into the uncomfortable at times, is visually beautiful, brilliantly realised technically, and left me pondering its thought provoking ideas. Write Response
