Jude Starbeam and the Shadow Planet
A play for 7-11 year olds
Intrepid space explorers Captain Jude Starbeam and his sister, Major Nix,
Set out to find the mythical Sunstar plant – but the mission goes wrong.
Jude is sucked into a black hole, and is stranded on a shadow planet…
Nix searches the universe to find him, but when she does, he has changed:
Will they ever be able to fly through space together again?
Told through shadow puppetry and song,
this is a story about the love that endures when
someone we love has changed.
Inspired by stories of young people growing up with a brain injury,
Jude Starbeam and the Shadow Planet is a challenging and
exciting new production about how two siblings
come to terms with this trauma.

According to MentalHealth.org, 1 in 6 people will be affected by an anxiety disorder
each year, yet anxiety remains under reported, under diagnosed and under treated.
Mental health awareness is a timely issue; anxiety needs greater coverage
and focus if it is to be challenged and understood.
