Fidget Theatre present a welcoming, music-filled new play for 4-8 year-old pirates and their families.
Welcome aboard, join the crew,
Let’s set sail for the horizon blue.
We’ll hear pirate songs and pirate tales,
As the ocean breeze fills our sails!
Pirate Bonnie is looking for treasure – but no ordinary treasure, for she is no ordinary Pirate. The treasures she seeks are stories, the long-lost stories of swashbuckling Pirates.
The audience are greeted by Bonnie and invited on board her ship to join the crew, set sail and discover treasures. Each treasure recovered is a forgotten legend of a real female pirate. In typical Fidget Theatre style, the show is warm and witty with original songs and friendly interaction for children and their grown-ups who all become Bonnie’s ship-shape crew.
So, join the crew on board the Good Ship Adventure! Feel the rush of wind in the sails as Bonnie shares her treasure and sings the songs of pirates of old.
It had lots of parts where we could join in- we could be part of the show too, I loved that because I was an actor too -audience member aged 6
