Where Caterpillars Go

A state-of-the-art submarine arrives at the Manchester’s Z-arts venue for Emergency Story Penguin (February 18-22), a mix of puppetry, video and music by the acclaimed Dep Arts and Slung Low theatre company.

Whenever there is a shortage of stories, anywhere in the world, The Emergency Story Unit will come to the rescue!

Slung Low entranced children in December with their 59 Minutes to Save Christmas performances, using technology and interactive storytelling.

When Trolls Try to Eat Your Goldfish (February 1) is written and performed by poet Dommy B (CBeebies' Rhyme Rocket) and tells the tale of the brazen theft of all a small town’s pets by naughty trolls.

Continuing the animal theme are My Friend Mole (March 22) and Where Caterpillars Go (April 9), both offering educational experiences for children with lessons on friendship, growing up and nature.
