Rock Pool by Inspector Sands

By Inspector Sands

A 6-part audio play for children aged 4-8 (and grown ups!) narrated by Gillian Burke, presenter for BBC Springwatch.

A big storm leaves two very different creatures stranded together in a lonely, little rock pool. Prawn and Crab must learn to get on swimmingly if they're to survive hunger, boredom, deadly seagull attacks, and each other. All this whilst unexpectedly forming the world's most banging underwater rock band!

A kind of crustacean Waiting for Godot for kids, with songs.

Made with Trigger (please see episode details for credits and partners).
