🎄🏴☠️ PIRATES OF THE CARABINER: An Adult Panto 🏴☠️🎄
A brand-new, hilarious pirate adventure comes to the stage this Panto Season, packed with silly comedy, outrageous innuendo, camp musical numbers and a heaping of festive cheer.
On the tiny island of Skull Cove, life is anything but plain sailing. Lez Goose is desperate to escape the suffocating expectations of her wealthy father; her best friend Willy Turner is nursing a secret crush and Mrs McFish just wants a day off from scrubbing the laundry! But when the legendary Golden Carabiner resurfaces, everything changes.
With Christmas approaching, pirates descend upon Skull Cove, alliances are formed, and secrets are revealed as Lez, Willy and Captain Jack team up to save the day, find their freedom and maybe even fall in love along the way.
With 11 SOLD OUT shows in 2025; book now to avoid disappointment! 🎄 🏴☠️✨
