Robinson lives in a little seaside town called Much-Piddling-by-the-Sea with his mother, Ma Crusoe, and his brother, Billy. The family are skint and are up to their neck in debt, so when the kindly Fairy Marina gives Robinson a treasure map, the Crusoe family waste no time in setting off on a voyage to find the island where X marks the spot. However, also in hot pursuit of the treasure is Captain Kilkraken, a wicked pirate queen who sails the Seven Seas with her dastardly all-female crew. What lengths will the pirates go to get their hands on the booty?

“Kei Bailey has taken this basic idea and turned it completely on its head to produce a witty script that Heckington players have made into a hilarious pantomime. Kei certainly understands the concept of what makes a good panto making it more accessible to a modern audience thorough updating jokes but without losing the general family appeal.”
