THEATRE producer Josh Dixon and his company Pumpkin Pantos return to The Phoenix Theatre in Bordon next month with the swashbuckling tale of Treasure Island.

After sell-out performances of Red Riding Hood last Easter, audiences are now invited to climb aboard The Good Ship Hispaniola for an epic adventure full of pillaging pirates, tropical islands and magical mermaids.

Join Jimmy Hawkins as he sets sail across the high seas to seek riches beyond his wildest dreams. Throw in an enchanted treasure map and a perky parrot and you’ve got yourself the most exciting adventure of all time.

Can our hero claim the treasure or will the dastardly Long John Silver beat him to it?

Josh said: “This action-packed swashbuckling pantomime has been a blast to produce and I cannot wait for audiences to join Jimmy Hawkins, Captain Smollett and Mishell the Mermaid as they try to beat the dastardly Long John Silver to a chest full of treasure.

“We promise side-splitting comedy, sensational songs and audience participation in abundance.” Performances will take place at The Phoenix Theatre off Barbados Road, on Friday, April 5, at 7.30pm and Saturday, April 6, at 1pm, 4pm and 7.30pm.
