Pirates' Islands by The Performers (Conference Room: Zafiro)
Pirates’ Island is the story of a group of pirates who arrive on an island in order to start looking for treasure. A parrot called Pepper is also part of the group. He’s not the innocent creature everybody believes he is: not only does he speak but he also wants to steal the treasure map and get all the treasure for himself. He needs the help of Francis, a pirate, and Dirty Mary, the cook, to do this. However, there is a great obstacle in their way: the map belongs to Jesse Smith, a woman dressed up as a pirate who won’t allow them to touch it. Will they be able to steal the map from her? Will Captain Jack Roberts identify the traitors? When will Jesse reveal her identity? Will they find the treasure? Let’s enjoy our journey to “Pirates’ Island” and find out what happens! Hooray!
