Derby LIVE and Buxton-based Babbling Vagabonds will team up for the fourth time to tell the story of Captain Sprout and the Christmas Pirates for Christmas 2016.
Babbling Vagabonds are Phil Coggins, Mark Hornsey and Tara Hornsey-Saunders. They started making theatre shows together in 2000 when they met at drama school.
Their previous Christmas shows for Derby LIVE were The Christmas Chocolate Shop, Naughty Meg and the Christmas Elves and The Potty Professor’s Christmas Miracle.
Captain Sprout hates anyone who has fun. His plan is to take on the world and pillage everything Christmassy. His pirates decide that Christmas is not happening. Will Captain Sprout succeed or will Christmas be saved?
Captain Sprout and the Christmas Pirates will be staged at Derby’s Guildhall Theatre from 8 until 28 December.
