About us

Fun loving Caterpillars, Bob and Bob wriggle out to explore the big wide world. Join them on their adventures discovering food, getting up to mischief and escaping from the cheeky chicken before transforming into beautiful butterflies.

This original show, which has been created by Stiltskin will delight young audiences from 6 months up to 8 years and their parents. An immersive show for tiny audiences and their big people with colour, movement and visual narrative. Caterpillar was one of the first performances Stiltskin created for younger audiences at The Soapbox back in June 2016.

We're bringing the show back as part of our celebrations marking 25 years of Stiltskin Theatre Company and 10 years of The Soapbox Children's Theatre. RECOMMENDED: ages 6 months to 8 year old and their big folk. (Children under 6 months do not need a ticket) RUN TIME: 45 minutes, plus time at the end for the children to meet the characters and play with props and bubbles. Our theatre café and toy shop opens 30 minutes before the show.
