Planet Omar
This vibrant new stage adaptation based on the beloved books by Zanib Mian has been brought to life by award-winning playwright Asif Khan and director Sameena Hussain.
When Omar’s family moves to a new neighbourhood, he faces a whirlwind of challenges: a new school, an unfriendly neighbour, and a bully who makes every day feel like a battle. But with courage, kindness, and a little help from his family and new best friend Charlie, Omar discovers his not-so-average imagination is his greatest strength.
This world premiere production is a joyful and funny celebration of empathy, community, and resilience. With dynamic storytelling, playful visuals, and a heartwarming message, Planet Omar invites audiences of all ages to laugh, reflect, and cheer for a hero who dares to dream big, even when the odds are stacked against him.
A production by Leeds Playhouse, in association with the Unicorn Theatre and Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
