How I Became A Pirate &
The Addams Family

Rascally Pirates and the family whose signature colour is black

See two hilarious shows for the price of one, in this short and sharp double bill perfect for young audiences. Jeremy Jacob discovers that wanting to be a pirate is quite different from actually being one and Wednesday Addams finds that it’s harder than she thinks to get her oddball family to be ‘normal’ one night.

About the show

Two completely different worlds for the price of one!

First, set sail with a hilarious crew of swashbuckling pirates in How I Became a Pirate, as young Jeremy Jacob discovers that adventure is exciting, but there are some treasures that simply can’t be found on a treasure map. With pirates, buried treasure and plenty of swagger, it’s a rollicking musical adventure for the whole family.

Then, things take a deliciously dark turn with The Addams Family, where Wednesday Addams has fallen in love with a very ‘normal’ young man and decides to introduce him to her wonderfully weird family. What could possibly go wrong? As the Addams and Beineke families come together for one unforgettable dinner, secrets, surprises and plenty of Addams-style mayhem are guaranteed.
