An Enchanting New Play About
a Bear and a Butterfly for Children
THE Atkinson presents Theatre
Hullabaloo and Theatre by the Lake's new show as part of their annual festival
Kidsfest.
One day, Bear's life changes forever when, deep in the branches of the tree he
hears the munching and a crunching of a bright green Caterpillar.
Bear and Caterpillar soon become the best of friends, Caterpillar munching
happily through tales of Bear's younger life catching fish, raising cubs and
being big, strong and fierce.
But one day Caterpillar stops munching and looks sick. Bear cares for his friend
and lays him on a pile of dry leaves, promising him that he'll get better soon.
Bear fears he will lose his friend but, as if by magic, Caterpillar grows and
stretches and from the leaves emerges a beautiful butterfly. Can Bear come to
terms with this new version of his friend who flies high above the trees and has
stories of his own?
Written by Annie McCourt, based on an original story by Gordon Poad the
production combines puppetry, live music and beautiful storytelling in this
charming tale about love, loss and friendship, for ages 4+ and their families.
Bear and Butterfly can be seen on Monday, 26 October 2015, at 2.30pm. It is part
of The Atkinson's 3 for 2 on Children's Theatre Offers this season. Book for 3
