2009/10 LTM NATIONAL PANTOMIME
PIRATE JACK

Pirate Jack
Pirate Jack

The 68th National Pantomime "Pirate Jack" follows the escapades of Pirate Jack, he is the last of his kind, a bucanneer roaming the high seas. But times have ben unkind to Jack what with a "bruck-down" ship manned by a surly crew who haven't been paid in two years, an eccentric mother-in-law, and a ditsy daughter he's lucky to have his faithful Wife by his side. Unfortunately his loot box is nearing empty so he heads to Jamaica, looking to loot and plunder.

Down at Sea Grape Fishing beach, the fisher folk are concerned at the dwindling fish catch. Something is scaring the fish out at sea... their businesses are suffering, and times are hard enough as it is. Local businessman Mr. Seaside Harry decides to venture out to the deadly Jankro Bay, in search of fish... Pirates and fishermen meet and all sorts of "bangarang" ensues in the regular Pantomime style of lively music, topicalities, and humour.
