Pirates. Robinson Crusoe. A treasure map. A dame. Plus a group of anarchic elderly people from a cruise ship that have arrived at Skull Island. The recipe for pantomime mayhem.
Robinson Crusoe finds a treasure map and decided to make his fortune so he can marry his true love Polly Perkins. He accidentally becomes part of a pirate crew, who also want to find the treasure. They get shipwrecked and go to the bottom of the sea where they meet King Neptune. Robinson survives and washes up on Skull Island. On the Island he meets Miss Friday, a Cruise liner rep, in charge of a group of older holidaymakers who are very rowdy and often drunk.
The map gets passed around (or was it stolen ?) and everyone is now looking for the treasure. Who will find it first? And what special treasure is in the trunk when they eventually find it ?
Lots of audience participation as they join the pirate gang and learn to shout "Arrrrrrrrr" in pirate fashion. This is a silly romp with pirate fights, slapstick and a parrot who thinks he is the best actor in the world.
Oh yes, he is, Luvvies !
