AFTER runs in the West End and Broadway, one of the most iconic characters in children's literature will be wriggling his way to Malvern this month.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show plays at Malvern Theatres on Wednesday, May 24, and Thursday, May 25.

The show will feature a menagerie of 75 enchanting puppets during a magical 60-minute show that faithfully adapts four of Eric Carle's best-loved books for the stage - the Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, Mister Seahorse, the Very Lonely Firefly and, of course, the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
