Buckle your Swash, and Yardarm The Hoist
It’s time to set sail for a rollicking adventure of laughs and innuendo this coming Summer Holidays 2023/2024. Bendigo Theatre Company cannot wait to bring back our long awaited Summer Pantomime – a locally written script by talented actor and all-round thespian, Conor Cunningham.
Conor, originally from Ireland, grew up in an environment where Pantomime’s are a staple diet for Irish theatre goers young and old. Being well versed and theatrically minded, Conor decided to write his own version of Treasure Island: The Pantomime, when he could not find a reasonable script which he felt would be funny, entertaining and silly enough for local families to enjoy. So Conor spent 2 years drafting and writing his own play, and recently has been refining his script in readiness for his Pantomime to hit the stage in Bendigo. He wants to pack as much rum punch, with laughs, innuendo, double entendre, silliness and audience participation into his play as he can. The audience are definitely going to be doing some chin-wagging, and telling their friends to spill out a small bag of Doubloons (Spanish gold coins) so they don’t miss out on seeing it!
