A charming puppet story in miniature showing a day at sea with the real Cromer crab fishermen of North Norfolk.

Set to the music of East Anglian folk musicians Bob Roberts, Tony Hall and Percy Brown, this wordless piece is a wonderful introduction to the joyful magic of puppet theatre!

Up Jumped The Crab uses puppets, traditional folk music, movement, humour and song to tell stories of the real crab fishermen of Cromer.
