Swallows and Amazons

20 Jun – 4 Jul

Arthur Ransome’s classic young persons’ adventure of sailing, explorers and pirates comes to Riverlea Theatre!

Presented by Hamilton Playbox – NZ’s longest running community theatre society.

The Walker children set sail on their beloved boat Swallow for the summer holiday of a lifetime. But their adventure truly begins when they encounter the Amazon Pirates, and the dastardly Captain Flint! The fight is on for ownership of the island. Who will win? The Swallows or the Amazons?

Book your tickets to see what happens when the Walker children meet the Blackett children in Swallows and Amazons.

“A celebration of friendship, imagination, fair play, and exploration, Swallows and Amazons inspires even the most landlocked kid to dream of messing about in boats, building fires, camping out and navigating by the stars.” – The Washington Post

Directed by Graham Pollard
Adapted by Helen Edmundson
Songs by Neil Hannon

A community theatre production by special arrangement with Nick Hern Ltd and The Play Bureau.
