Storm! Shipwreck! Adventure!
Lost on an island in the very north of the world, a brave little girl meets a shy, curious creature… Not only does he look very odd, he sounds different too!
Meet the Skitterbang. In his cave full of old metal and junk washed up from the sea, he shows her his newest treasure which sounds so beautiful. But who does it really belong to?
Last week we returned to the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon for a performance of Skitterbang Island, an exciting tale of discovery and friendship and a magical world of music, song, rhythm and harmony. Following sell-out performances at Polka in 2010, the critically acclaimed Skitterbang Island sails back for an enchanting summer treat with a difference.
The performance lasted 45 minutes and both my children were enchanted with it. The venue is intimate which helped you feel really drawn into the story. The show is recommended for 3-6 years but my 2 and 4 year old enjoyed it. The story was simple but brought to life beautifully by the songs, scenery and lights. It’s a lovely show and we would heartily recommend it.
Skitterbang Island at Polka Theatre is on from 25th June until 16 August, full information and ticket prices can be found on the Polka Theatre website.
This sounds like something my children would love. I’m glad that you all enjoyed it. Going to the theatre is always magical. I really like those puppets.
Wow, this looks magical!
45 minutes is a perfect show length for young kids – lucky you 🙂
Always liked the look of this place but too far for us .x
This brings back some memories as I used to have my birthday parties at the Polka Theatre! It really is wonderful place and I wish there were more theatres dedicated to children’s performances.
It sounds like something I would love, nevermind the children x
Sounds great and that little character is so cute x
I adore going to the theater! I have not been since Maxwell was born so would be 100% like to go again soon.

Aww this looks lovely for the children. 45 mins is perfect
I love taking my three-year-old to the theatre. She’s been loving it since she was 18 months! This play really does look enchanting.
Those puppets looks fantastic and a great way to draw kids into a story. Sounds as though ti was fun for you too.
That looks lovely, and perfect length for little kids.
This looks wonderful and I would love to take my children. I think going to the theatre is such a great think to get them involved in from a young age.
Sounds like a perfect piece for children! The story is so magical and the characters sound and look marvelous!
This sounds fab, just the sort of thing I’d take my girls too. Love the puppets
Oh those photos are gorgeous. We do love the theatre. Come to think of it it’s far too long since we have been. Aaron loved We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and The Gruffalo Live. Nearly the season for pantos, so we’ll have to find one or two. xx
