Ahoy, families! This Christmas, embark on an action-packed, fun-filled festive adventure as we bring you the tale of Captain Sprout, a rotten rogue with a sneaky plan to steal Christmas! But standing in his way is young Freddy Frith, armed with nothing but courage, kindness, and his trusty teddy, Mr Moo.
Join a crew of bumbling buccaneers for a show packed with hilarious antics, magical shadow puppetry, original music, and plenty of pirate-y chaos! There’s audience participation galore, so little (and big!) adventurers can be part of the action from the moment they arrive.
“From the youngest at 18 months old to the oldest 54 with all possible variations between, our large party were mesmerised by the magical visual feast.”
“The perfect combination of childish and adult humour. Joyous, inventive and engaging!”
