When a big storm whips up the sea, two creatures are left stranded in a lonely rock pool…
Prawn and Crab could not be more different. They look different, act different, and when Crab gets hungry – about every 5 minutes – it’s all Prawn can do to stop being eaten. But as the sun beats down and their little pool starts to drain away, they don’t have long to find a way of getting on and getting home.
Funny, tender, exuberant, partially-submerged theatre from award-winning company Inspector Sands. Featuring rock music and splashy dancing!
