Barns Green Players are back for panto with a production of Treasure Island.

Spokesman Nigel Currie said: “Young Jim Hawkins leaves his sweetheart at home and travels to Treasure Island in search of treasure. However, Long John Silver stages a mutiny and takes over the ship with the help of the other crew members – the pirates. Silver wants all the treasure for himself. However, when they reach their destination, there are some unexpected strange inhabitants on Treasure Island.

“Who are these strange inhabitants? Will they find the treasure? Why is the ship’s entertainment officer Sailor Swift organising a singing competition? What will happen to Captain Codpiece, Jim and Hilda? And why does Long John Silver have a seagull on his shoulder called Dunk?
