The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show (Touring)

The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by author/illustrator Eric Carle, has delighted generations of readers since it was first published in 1969, selling more than 43 million copies worldwide. Eric’s well-known books captivated readers with his iconic, colourful, hand-painted tissue paper collage illustrations and distinctively simple stories, introducing generations of children to a bigger, brighter world – and to their first experience of reading itself.

Now, the timeless classic has made its way off the page and onto the stage. Created by Jonathan Rockefeller, this critically acclaimed production features a menagerie of 75 lovable puppets, faithfully adapting four of Eric Carle’s stories: Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks, The Very Lonely Firefly and, of course, the star of the show celebrating its 50th birthday in 2019, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
