Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins on the high seas in search of Captain Flint's long lost treasure. Following last year's sellout success Sherlock Holmes, this years cast and crew of 45 bright young things follow the adventures of young effeminate Jim Hawkins and the lovesick Captain Smollett as they take on the might of Long John Silver, Hairy Paul and Big Fat Nick in an all-swashing, all-buckling pirate adventure! It's 1742 and England's harbours thrive on talk of the New World. Pirates rule the seas and Liverpool dominate what was then known as football's 'First Division'. In the midst of all this nautical gubbins, young Jim Hawkins suddenly finds himself in pursuit of love, honour and a massive quantity of gold. With the evil Long John Silver as his nemesis, it's no wonder the old people of that year sometimes called the ensuing shenanigans 'the biggest adventure in the world - ever- so far this year'. The panto promises every comic ingredient going, plus a liveband on stage, audience participation galore and a healthy smattering of men dressed as women and women dressed as men.
