Captain Redbeard back by popular demand
Audiences will find themselves in Santa’s returns department, where all ‘left-overs’ and unwanted gifts land up when Captain Redbeard returns to Durban.
BACK by popular demand, Captain Redbeard and Jeff’s Great Christmas Adventure comes to Durban’s Olive Tree Church in Florida Road, Morningside in December.
Aaron McIlroy reprises his collaboration with actor-director Patrick Kenny. Audiences will find themselves in Santa’s returns department, where all ‘left-overs’ and unwanted gifts land up. Captain Redbeard (McIlroy) and his hapless side-kick Jeff (played by Kenny) have been commissioned by Mrs Claus to field complaints from undeserving children who are not prepared to care for their new possessions.

McIlroy and Kenny have concocted an uproarious narrative whose off-the-wall, dumb-and-dumber style melds the joyous absurdities of the world of Roald Dahl, with a hint of the lusty antics that underpin the much-loved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Set to send comedy sparks flying, this hour-long entertainment is laced with a heady mix of seasonal songs, ranging from the likes of favourite items such as Mary’s Boy Child to I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas and Santa is Coming to Town.
