“Pirates…:” is a well known tale with numerous twists. It is set in a completely over the top Caribbean island. The young, handsome Sparrow falls hopelessly in love with Crimson Sabre. Captain Hook is also enamoured by Crimson. But the 350-year-Old Hag Hilderetta has designs on him too. Dame Esmeralda is still deeply in love with Captain Ahab. Woven in this intricate web is the real adventure. The quest for the curried beans is the passport to supremacy in the Pirate World. There are the usual songs, dances and slapstick comedy. Will the good win over the bad? Will Sparrow marry his bride? Will the Dame ever find true love? Will Hook have his way? The answers will be revealed at The Museum Theatre.
The show is more than just entertainment. It is a fundraiser for the weekly creative workshops for underprivileged children, weekly spoken English classes for children, seven-year scholarships for four underprivileged children every year, a street theatre production by the children and The Little Theatre’s Sailing Project at RMYC.
