Pirates, Shane and Gareth, have been marooned in the present. How will they survive without a code of values to guide them? Award-winning Australian Company, Gobsmacked, return to Edinburgh with Emilie Collyer's dark and quirky comedy about young men navigating their way through a complex and dangerous world. Combining distinctive text, striking visual imagery, a heightened performance style and original songs the audience are taken on a theatrical journey that 'will sit with you long after the house lights have come up' (BritishTheatreGuide.info 2016). www.gobsmackedtheatre.com.au www.madeinadelaide.club

Two hander about pirates (and men) lost in the modern world. Poignant moments, particularly in song. A little underdeveloped but touching nonetheless. Watch out for the parrot!

James Edwards

Gorgeous music. Great story talking about feeling lost and rudderless in a turbulent world. Needs a touch more pirate. The beards and hair are perfect though!
