TAKE an astronomical journey to the edges of space and time this half term.

Universarama! is coming to Dorchester Corn Exchange on Thursday, May 30 at 2pm, courtesy of Squashbox Theatre.

Let Professor Johnson of the Squashbox Theatre Astounding And Amazing Astronomical Research Society (S.T.A.A.A.A.R.S) take you on a journey to the edges of space and time.

Along the way explore the solar system, study the stars and constellations, visit distant galaxies, and hear the fascinating story of John Couch Adams, the Cornishman who discovered Neptune.

Dorchester Arts’ artistic director Mark Tattersall said: “Using only silly puppets, ridiculous and unnecessary props, simple household objects and assorted fruits and vegetables, Professor Johnson will reveal the secrets of the universe!”

Universarama! is a marvellous blend of spectacle, storytelling and cabaret, all contained within an accessible, funny and unique family show. It is the creation of Craig Johnson - actor, musician, puppeteer, astronomy fan, and long-standing member of Cornwall's renowned Kneehigh Theatre.

*Universarama, Dorchester Corn Exchange, Thursday, May 30, 2pm. Contact Dorchester Arts for tickets and more information.
