The Worm

Event date: Saturday, 21 February 2026 | 10:30 AM to 11:40 AM

When a mischievous bird pokes its beak through the ceiling and swoops away with his mum, a determined little worm sets off on the adventure of a lifetime!

Through twisty tunnels, muddy passages, and underground burrows, he meets a cast of unforgettable characters - a fast-talking Snail, a sharp-witted Spider, and the self-appointed ruler of the underworld, the Blind Rat. But who can he really trust?

Reminiscent of Spike Milligan, this quirky fairytale adventure from Nightsong (Mr Red Light, Te Pō) is funny, sweet, and delightfully offbeat, featuring extraordinary design, five actors, and live music by Carnivorous Plant Society's Finn Scholes.

Can one tiny worm wriggle his way past tricky critters, clever puzzles, and wild encounters to save his mum? Worm your way to The PumpHouse to find out!
