“Will Long John Silver, with Captain Flint the parrot, and his band of pirates claim the booty first? Who is the strange character Ben Gunn? Will anybody survive Ma’s cooking?”

Dingwall Players first staged Treasure Island at Foulis Storehouse during Covid in 2021. Now, as their pantomime production, the show will be staged in Ross Hall, better known as The Legion and Gudgees.

Players’ Nick Fearne said: “A good time is guaranteed for all the family in this tale of pirates, buried treasure and an interfering parrot! Come dressed as a pirate and join the crew on the quest to discover Treasure Island!”

There are performances on Thursday, December 12, Friday 13th and Saturday 14th at 7pm, plus a matinee on Saturday at 2.30pm.

Tickets are available at www.dingwallplayers.org from November 1.
