The Way Back Home - Live on Stage! in Dubai

Discover interstellar adventure filled with teamwork, courage, and playful imagination.

Oliver Jeffers, award-winning author of How to Catch a Star and Lost and Found, returns with an intergalactic tale about a little boy with a big sense of adventure.

One day, a boy discovers a plane in his cupboard. He flies it higher and higher until he runs out of petrol and lands on the moon.

Alone, frightened, and unsure what to do, he suddenly encounters a passing Alien who has also crash-landed! Who is this strange alien? Can they become friends? And how will they find their way back home?

In a spirit of generosity and teamwork, the boy and the Alien join forces. With the boy returning to Earth for supplies, they work together to fix their machines and make their way back home!

This heartwarming, interstellar adventure celebrates friendship, teamwork, and the idea that differences don’t matter when someone needs help.
