About
BIG has completed its tour of 2026.
There was 27 performances, 20 nurseries, 4 venues, 8 workshops and 1099 audience!
Super and Dino are starting BIG school. Everyone keeps telling them they’re big and ready, so why do they sometimes feel so small? Will this new adventure be exciting or scary? Have they packed their bags with all the right things? Can their friends come too? They’re definitely going to need help to be as brave as a dinosaur and a superhero!
BIG is a funny and engaging show for 3-6 year olds exploring the excitement, adventure, and trepidation of starting somewhere new.
BIG was developed in collaboration with three Nursery schools (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth & Kinross) in 2016. BIG toured schools and venues in 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2026.
BIG 2026 is supported by Creative Scotland, the Arthur and Margaret Thompson Trust and Funded by Kinross-shire Fund, administered by Foundation Scotland.
“There have been various shows and performances at the school but nothing that engaged the children like yours”
Nursery head
“That was perfect. It was a perfect show. There is nothing else out there like it. The children loved it. You were the kids and they were you.”
Deputy Head
“My daughter and I loved Big. It was a great way to introduce some of the challenges that school might bring in a fun way. We both laughed loads and look forward to the next Dirliebane production!”
