Potted Pirates

Potted Pirates

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2008

After the hilarious success of Potted Potter, delightful double act Dan and Jeff return with this new compressed caper. In search of talking parrots and mysterious buried treasure, they're swapping wizards for walking the plank and trading Hogwarts for the high seas.

On the way they'll be telling tall tales of the seven seas, from Long John Silver to Blackbeard, plus notorious cross-dressing lady pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Dan and Jeff also promise a full-scale re-enactment of the Spanish Armada, featuring thirty actors in full costume.Will Dan persuade Jeff to let him play Jack Sparrow? And how will Jeff keep things ship-shape with that scallywag aboard?

Shanties aside, Potted Pirates promises to hit all the notes you'd expect from this superbly shambolic double act.

Recommended for shipmates aged six to Davey Jones (who is very old indeed), even those who don't know their shipping forecast from their sea shanty.
