Something Very Far Away

Kepler is an ordinary man who loves two things beyond all others: the cosmos and his wife Tomasina. After a sudden and tragic loss, he looks to the stars for answers and journeys deep into space to keep the thing most precious to him alive.


Using Make Mend and Do's unique blend of puppetry, animation, music and sound, something very far away is an award winning play about love, loss, space and time that enchanted audiences around the globe.
