Commander Claire and the Pirates of Provence

Family & Kids

Ooh la la! Something sinister is afoot. New Zealand is under attack from the infamous French pirate, Captain Langlois and his fiendish Gallic rooster, Napoleon. From the Hauraki Gulf to Foveaux Strait, nowhere is safe from their piratical plundering.

When all else fails, New Zealand turns to the Royal New Zealand Navy and the courageous Commander Claire to lead the resistance against the feisty French marauder. What she uncovers could change the course of New Zealand history forever!

This fast-paced, funny show has lots of audience participation, puppetry and songs, and is perfect for kids aged 5+. 

Directed by Mark Hadlow, children and grown-ups alike will be delighted by this fun-filled panto.
