There Is No Dragon In This Story: Hero spread

Spectacular production of The Night Pirates!

So much to enjoy about this lively show! There are dance routines, singing and actions for the audience to join in with. The atmospheric sets and costumes are as if the pages had jumped right out of the book, which is just amazing for me to see! The characters have similarly sprung to life and there are wonderful new developments here - some with their own songs, a favourite is Capt'n Patch and his objections at having to grow up, very funny. It was a real treat, the rough tough grown up pirates and their snore-grump attitude and especially seeing the responses from the kids to get involved with the actions and dance.

The Night Pirates @Rosetheatre gets x4👍from our wee reviewers! The adventure continues until this weekend https://t.co/iwbGYv8WJA ⚔️💎⚓️☠️ pic.twitter.com/S6EqAMJoOz
