A GRIPPING adaptation of Dick King-Smith's The Crowstarver is on offer for children during the Easter holidays at Malvern Theatres.
Brought to life by a five-strong cast and two musicians playing an original score on piano and violin, the show is geared up for eight to 13-year-olds and their families.
Set during the Second World War, The Crowstarver tells a moving story of a little boy, "Spider" Sparrow, who was abandoned as a baby in a lambing pen with a note pinned to his shawl saying "please save this lamb."
As he grows up everyone can see he's not like other children. He has an amazing way with animals - but life can be tough for Spider and danger is always just around the corner.
The Crowstarver runs from next Wednesday to Saturday. Tickets cost £9 or £7 (children) from the box office on 01684 892277.
