Potted Pirates
Potted Productions - Festival Highlights
Packing pirates from Long John silver to Jack Sparrow into one madcap hour. After a sell-out fringe premiere in 2008, this swashbuckling piratical adventure returns for a second year of timber-shivering and plank-walking.
Created by CBBC and Potted Potter’s Dan and Jeff, the show’s back with all-new shipmates in search of talking parrots and mysterious buried treasure. On the way they’ll be telling tall tales of the seven seas – and be sure not to miss the full-scale Spanish Armada re-enactment.
