Ye Pirate Pantomime

[Calico Jack]

It be that time of year when all good Pirates tread the boards to take part in the annual Christmas Pantomime.

This year the Pirates have been asked by Portsmouth City Council to adapt a well known pantomime and give it a bit of a Pirate twist. We have been invited to stage this production at Portsmouth City Hall just before Xmas.

So how does this work, well the first thing is to agree which Pantomine we wish to prduce.

The next stage is to come up with a cast list

Finally we write the play itself which I suggest we do in stages a bit like the Briny Tale in that one act leads on to another.  We will need to get 4 or 5 of us involved in this bit.

So to start off by the end of this week we need to agree which pantomine we perform and what we are going to call it. So ye can all post your suggestions here.

So who's up for a bit of crass Xmas cheer.

YYYAAARRR I suppose Peter Pan would be the obvious one as it's already got a pirate in it.

Alaaaaarghddin

Sinderella...not a big cast in that though...all though ye could ave Big Ron turnin his sausages into a coach.

Snow White and the seven pirates...not for the kids!

Dick Whittington the cabin boy...lots of: 'It's behind you' jokes!
