In February 2020, just before the arrival of the Covid pandemic in the UK, Pilton Theatre Productions presented ‘Treasure Island’, a pantomime adapted loosely from Robert Louis Stevenson’s book of the same name. It was performed in Pilton Church Hall during the February Half-Term Holiday (20th – 22nd February).
Introduced by Robert Louis Stevenson, the pantomime involved all the expected characters like Long John Silver, Polly the Parrot, Jim Hawkins and Ben Gunn, as well as lots of mystery characters. In addition, it featured loads of dastardly dressed in stripey T-shirts and skull and cross-bone bandanas wielding cutlasses and making the life of the Dame, Petunia Clark, Squire Trelawney, and the other members of the crew a misery! It was written and directed by Lee Smith and produced by Pip Cartmell.
The cast of twenty-three, who took the limelight, was very ably backed by great back stage, front of house and support crews from in and around Pilton.
Below you will find a link to the programme for the panto with all the details of cast, crew, supporters and the rest.
