Who's that creeping down the street?
Who's that climbing up the wall?
Who's that coming through the window?


Every night Burglar Bill has stolen fish and chips and a stolen cup of stolen tea for supper, then he swings a big stolen sack over his shoulder and goes off to work, stealing things.

One night Burglar Bill steals a nice big brown box with little holes in it. He takes it home, but what he finds inside throws his nightly routine into hilarious chaos and ultimately changes his criminal life forever.

Learn alongside Burglar Bill that robbery is very bad and crime doesn't pay. Meet Burglar Betty and her baby, Tom the cat, WPC Good and many other colourful characters as Pandora's Box Theatre Company bring to life this much loved story using their special blend of live action, puppets, music and comedy.
