Pirates Versus Mermaids 
A Musical Treasure Chest

by Gaynor Boddy and Rebecca Kincaid
Ages: 5-11

A real treat of a production.

 

Heave-ho and away we go on a fantastic musical journey, where the seven seas just aren’t big enough for our pirates and mermaids! Filled with catch-of-the-day fresh songs and an adventure-packed script, the boys will show off their swaggers and the girls will sparkle – so hoist the sail and come aboard!

 

  • Works as a whole school production, but for smaller productions most suited to senior classes 3rd. to 6th.
  • Adaptable script for large group performances

Me Hearty High School is the most distinguished pirate school on the seven seas and the trainee pirates can’t wait to graduate and become proper pirates. There is only one problem… none of them can swim! If they can’t swim they will fail their ‘Arrr’ levels and then what will they do? The answer to their problem lies with the mermaids, but the pirates do not like the mermaids and the mermaids do not like the pirates – will they ever find a way to get along?

With seven fantastic songs and a hilarious script, join Captain Scarypants on a swashbuckling adventure with his band of brave pirates, a hungry crocodile, a crew of feisty mermaids and, of course, one insane parrot!

Very easy to dress everybody – a colourful cast, with lots of scope for embellishing characters!

Cast List

Cast notes: There are 26 speaking parts with option to increase up to 58 as required.

For smaller groups, the least number of performers is 24. this would mean having only one narrator, the two announcers doubling up as the crocodile and delivery man and having just 7 pirates and 8 mermaids. The ‘sea’ would need to be created without the children’s help.

Whole school: Have as many pirates and mermaids as you like; split the narration between lots of children; for more speaking parts than 26, split the pirate crew and mermaid crew lines between 21 and 17 children respectively, instead of 6, creating 58 speaking parts.
