About
CATERPILLAR
by Alison Carr
Directed by Mark Lester
Owing to her illness, Maeves seaside B&B is closed for the foreseeable future. Daughter Claire has been helping out but is she making things worse? Though Simon didnt get Claires email cancelling his booking, he wont be put off, as he must fulfil a promise to fly in the towns annual Birdman competition. Claire relents and lets him in for the night. Over the course of the weekend, we discover that all three have secrets, and we watch them drop their facades as they attempt to navigate grief and complex family ties.
Caterpillar is a darkly funny, emotionally-charged drama which explores the moments when we find ourselves teetering on the edge.
Warning: This production contains strong language, adult themes and scenes which some might find distressing. It is not suitable for under 16s.

Sold out? It can be worth coming along for when the box office opens and waiting to see if there are any returns. Of course there is no guarantee you will be lucky - but it is surprising how often returns are offered when one or more members of a party are unable to attend.
