Our Review:
7 December 2012
The classic adventure story Treasure Island is transported to Morecambe Bay in The Dukes’ Christmas show this year; and what an effective idea it turns out to be.
Debbie Oates has adapted the book and turned it into a humorous show for all the family, with music, singing, puppets, dancing and of course the occasional joke about bodily functions. The show bobs along in a sprightly manner with some simple but fun special effects, including a coracle which swings from side to side in the small theatre while a remote controlled inflatable shark patrols the perimeter.
Some of the simplest scenes are the most effective, particularly when the pirates go into slow motion mode and others when they just indulge in silly, slapdash antics. This is one of those shows that will appeal to kids and adults as it has something for everyone.
The story follows young Jem who feels alienated by her parents when they have another child and sets off to find treasure...
