CHILDREN'S THEATRE REVIEW: Don't Worry Little Crab - Folded Feather Company, online.


Folded Feather in association with Little Angel Theatre have created a wee gem of a production for very young children, and is available to wacth online on the company's YouTube channel.

The story is taken from the book of the same name by Chris Haughton, and tells the story of a little crab and a big crab who live in a rock pool, and one day make the journey over the rock to the sea. The waves are high and the little crab is afraid, but once he finds himself in the sea and meets so many new and amazing friends, and has so many new adventures, they don't go back 'home' to the rockpool afterall.

The set, created from old odds and ends found in your home, was most creative and actually excellently thought through and presented. The rock pool, with cellophane marking the water line was ingenious; the large rock looked very real, the waves good, and the underwater scene clever. This was all aided by some lovely sound effects and nice background music (Matt Wand).

The whole was created and performed by Kim Smart and Oliver Smart.

A very short, sweet, enagaging story.
