IT MAY be the height of summer but Artrix Bromsgrove has announced this year’s Christmas pantomime.
Half Tail Productions will bring a new version of Treasure Island to Bromsgrove, with modern twists on Robert Louis Stevenson’s traditional tale.
People are urged to grab their eye-patches, hoist the Jolly Roger, and prepare to embark on a rollicking, raucous and ridiculously fun adventure.
It centres on young Jim Hawkins as he discovers a mysterious treasure map and is swept away on a high-seas adventure packed with boisterous buccaneers, a daft Dame, glittering gold and a very cheeky parrot.
Dastardly Long John Silver is hot on the trail with more tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a birthday party.
The show promises hilarious hijinks, toe-tapping tunes, buckets of slapstick magical mayhem and plenty of audience participation.
Executive producer/director Suzanne Lane said: “I am so excited to bring the magic of panto to the people of Bromsgrove this year.
“Treasure Island is a story I’ve loved since childhood, and to now get to re-enact it on stage is a dream come true.
“The script and songs have already been prepared, and we promise there is an abundance of twists and turns, hilarious characters, sing-a-long tunes, jaw-dropping special effects and non-stop laughs and not forgetting a sprinkling of panto magic.”
The show will drop its anchor throughout the whole of December with a mixture of evening and weekend shows, plus daytime school shows.
The school shows are nearly all full, but any schools wanting to check availability are urged to get in touch.
