I Caught Crabs in Walberswick, Paperback / softback Book

I Caught Crabs in Walberswick Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

A fast-moving, exhilarating play about teenage hopes, dreams and frustrations in a rural part of England. Wheeler is a high-flying comprehensive kid destined for university, while football-mad Fitz is struggling to cope with his dysfunctional father and his schoolwork.

They live in Walberswick, a sleepy Suffolk village known for hosting the British Open Crabbing Championship. Set on a sweltering summer's day on the eve of their last GCSE exam, they are ambushed by Dani, the fittest (and poshest) girl on the beach.

So begins a crazy twenty-four hours that will change the lives of the three sixteen-year-olds for ever. Joel Horwood's play I Caught Crabs in Walberswick was first performed at the 2008 HighTide Festival in Suffolk in a co-production with Eastern Angles. The production transferred to the Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh, as part of the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and then toured the UK before a sell-out run at The Bush Theatre, London, in November 2008.
