90 minute theatre performance for all the family

​

Poor Bonny! Shipwrecked on a desert island. Her hopes of rescue and getting home in time for Christmas are dashed as Captain Piccanose and his motley crew, the Scallywags, visit the island to bury his treasure. They take Bonny hostage on board The Pink Piccanose, but her presence there soon brings the crew together as she tells them all about Father Christmas. But peril awaits as the ship is attacked by Tentacular the giant Kraken.

​

Captain Piccanose is caught up in one of Tentacular's tentacles, about to be dragged out to sea but is rescued by Bonny. In a debt of gratitude he promises to get Bonny home in time for Christmas, but as the crew embrace Bonny as one of their own and pull together to get her home, Bonny realises that what she really wanted, what she yearns for, is a 'family' to spend Christmas with, and chooses to become a Scallywag - Scallywags ahoy!

​

"...absolutely brilliant with amazing music, storytelling and stagecraft/effects. You are in for a treat!

​

"I am overcome with emotion about today's performance of Scallywags! The actors were unbelievable!

Talented and skilled at their craft! There was laughter and I even felt so taken aback at the twinkling lights and softer, deeper moments of the story. Not to mention the piratey/Christmasy atmosphere with music that made your heart so happy! We were both singing and dancing going back home... thank you for making Christmas special!"
