WALK THE PLANK!
A 50-minute interactive play for primary schools
Touring during Anti-Bullying Week 2024
Monday 11th - Friday 15th November
Netty Gudgeon has always dreamt of being a pirate. She decides to stow away and hides away in a barrel aboard the ‘Black Tyrant’ but is quickly discovered by the nasty Captain Vexatious. Netty soon discovers that life on the ocean waves is harder than she imagined it would be, especially when the Captain turns out to be a bully. Can the crew help Netty to find ways to stop the Captain bullying her, or will she be forced to walk the plank?
"Walk The Plank" uses humour to tackle sensitive issues and find positive solutions. The production lasts for approximately 50 minutes and requires a performance space of 3m x 2m and one plug socket please.

The costs for schools within Tameside and surrounding areas are shown below: this is a total price with no V.A.T. added. The performance is suitable for one whole school performance, but we offer a second performance in the same morning session for schools who prefer to split the two Key Stages; this allows more children to get involved in the interactive sections and allows us to differentiate the interactive section of the show slightly for Key Stages 1 and 2. For schools further afield, travel costs (and accommodation where necessary) will be added. Please email us for an exact price.
1 performance: £500
2 performances in the same morning session: £600
2 performances (1 x A.M. and 1 x P.M.): £750
For more information, or to book a performance for your school, please contact us.

Very thought-provoking activities which children were keen to be involved in. Good range of interactive ideas that gave practical, real-life strategies for dealing with bullies.
