Written exclusively for Belper Arts Trail by Lea Holmes ‘The Curse of The New Girl’ sees the pirates on the lookout for a new first mate and is a mixture of slapstick comedy and traditional pantomime.
When asked, ‘Captain’ Dan Webber said, “it’s so great to be back on stage as part of Belper Arts Trail and we cannot wait to show audiences what the Belper Pirates have been up to, after 2 years away I’m not sure which is more tired, the actors or the jokes!”
The full cast includes Andrew Buxton, Lea Holmes, Annabel Ward and Dan Webber, with stage management by Chris Moss. Tickets for the show are £5 and available via Eventbrite or on the door.
Performances take place at The Ritz Cinema, Belper at 10.45am and 12pm on Sunday 1st and 10.45am and 11.45am on Monday 2nd May.
