By Based on the Poems by Michael Rosen. Adapted by Daniel Jamieson
You Can’t Catch Me is about the hair-raising adventure of growing up, of making go-karts and crashing go-karts, eating a whole chocolate cake in the dead of night….and what happens when you cross “The Line” in the playground and get into REALLY BIG TROUBLE!.
Based on Michael Rosen’s fantastic, funny poems, You Can’t Catch Me shows how big, wonderful, weird and scary the world can be when you’re four feet high.
