A YOUNG, mute boy overcomes his greatest fears as he begins a search for treasure during the latest theatrical showing at Bromyard's Conquest Theatre.

Surrey-based Imagination Productions' performance of Spud Pirate and the Pot of Gold sees Spud evolve from shy boy to brave pirate in this action-packed show.

Spud is joined by friends including Bruno Bear, Algae the Octopus, Sparky the Shocking Electric Eel and Pearl the beautiful mermaid as he attempts to save a beautiful mermaid from the clutches of Black Jack.

But as he overcomes his fears to fight the forces of evil will he bring home the treasure or the gift of speech?

With sing-along songs and lots of audience participation, Spud Pirate and the Pot of Gold is recommended for families with children between three and eight-years-old.

The performance tomorrow (Saturday), begins at 3pm.

Tickets cost £5/£4 on 01885 488575. To find out more about the theatre company, its website can be visited at www. imaginationproductions.co.uk
