TREASURE ISLAND
This story starts in the Admiral Benbow, an inn. Jim Hawkins (Quin) works there. Billy Bones (Shanti) comes to stay. He has a map. He was once a pirate, a member of Captain Flint's crew. He is visited by Black Dog(Stevie )who fights him. Then the evil Blind Pew (Sasha) comes and scares him to death.
Jim gets the map. He gets the Goodies, Dr Livesey (Charlie), Mr Dance (Shannen) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola. The captain is Captain Smollett (Makayla) who gets Long John Silver (Madison) to collect a crew. Long John Silver is evil and one of Captain Flint's pirates. He collects all the other pirates and away they sail.
On the trip Jim hears of a plot to kill them. When they get to the island the Goodies go to the stockade. The baddies go in search of the treasure. An old pirate called Ben Gunn (Zion ) who has been marooned, arrives and joins the goodies .
Jim takes off and sails the ship around the island. The pirates have nowhere to go. There's a big fight. The pirates are winning until they hear Ben Gunn who they think is a ghost of Captain Flint. Ben screams horribly..
They all run away and the goodies find the treasure and sail back to England.
My favourite part was 'Blast away you ninnies", it was funny
My favourite character was Dr Livesey (Charlie) because he was funny.
The show as a whole was a success :)
