Pirate Princess is a story of hope against adversity inspired by strong and inventive women of history.
The show will be set around a pole prop with a custom built crows nest on the top, to be performed indoors in the studio space at Theatre Porto or outdoors in Whitby Park – weather dependent.
Poor Princess Poppy has been shipwrecked and finds herself stranded on a desert island in a most cumbersome ball gown. Try as she might, her unwieldy dress prevents her from climbing the mast to see where the nearest land is. With the help of the audience she transforms her outfit into a practical and fabulous solution that enables her to climb to the top in an impressive display of circus strength and hoist the flag for clothing equality for all!
The show will also look at the impact of fast fashion in the modern world and encourage the audience to reuse, recycle and reinvent.
NB This performance represents a fresh production in the developmental stages, currently undergoing audience testing.
