Jo's Portable Art Department
Stinky McFish And The World’s Worst Wish is a seaside version of the Grimm Brothers traditional fairy tale ‘The Frog Prince’. Scuttle Stinky McFish is a crab who longs to be human. Can little Lucy help to make his dream come true? Should Scuttle The Crab be careful what he wishes for? Meanwhile, Marina The Marine Explorer needs some help to make life in the rock-pools good again for everyone.
An original and beautifully crafted comedy show with songs, puppetry and play, Stinky McFish And The World’s Worst Wish is about friendship, home and the environment.
