About Pirates!
A treat for the heart and the senses
Firm fun for the entire motley crew
Exciting, warm-hearted and perfectly inventive
All a'board for Scottish Dance Theatre’s new family show: Pirates!
This December, join best friends Tom and Daisy as they are swept away into the world of Captain Sandy Rogers and her rowdy crew. Together, they will go on an unforgettable adventure featuring a bunch of slippery zombies, strange underwater creatures and a final, all-out duel with the wicked Admiral O’Greed!
In this story about identity and friendship not everything is what it seems, and the biggest treasure in the world could be right under your nose...
Featuring a playful mix of dance, theatre and storytelling, Pirates! is the latest creation of Scottish Dance Theatre’s Artistic Director Joan Clevillé.
