The show is fun for the entire family, and makes a great group event or memorable date night! “Yo Ho Ho and a Barrel of Fun…or…Don’t Leech on me” is a hilarious pirate melodrama that takes place in the Caribbean Islands, and follows the exploits of the Evil Lord Lucifer Leech and his equally despicable daughter Monsoon Mary. The nefarious couple has kidnapped Lady Patience Purity of Portsmouth and is intent on relieving her of the family jewels! Thankfully, Sheffield Silver, the consummate hero and captain of the Jolly Roger, arrives just in time…or has he? The Leeches never let go and won’t give up without getting their hands on the treasure. Can Sheffield Silver save Lady Patience and her servant Maggie McMurkin from the dastardly duo?
