“X” marks the spot on this year’s map for family entertainment – the destination is MADC’s CHRISTMAS PANTO – TREASURE ISLAND at MFCC at Ta’ Qali.

Come and join in the fun with Alan Montanaro, the mischievous rogue Long John Swagger, Alexander G. Lewis, the handsome young hero Jim Hawkins and Jean Pierre Busuttil, the outrageous Mama Sufia Kerapestska, the hero’s mother; as they set out on an epic hunt from untold riches to be found on the mysterious treasure island.

This fascinating journey will take you on an exciting adventure, full of laughs for the young and not so young, plus a spate of satirical and risqué jokes for the mature and much audience participation.

And there’s the inevitable Boy meets Girl story as the fabled treasure also contains a magic voodoo amulet and if Jim manages to find it in time, he may just be able to save the Squire’s daughter, Miss Huta from her terrible curse before it’s too late.

However it doesn’t help that Long John Swagger and his rather unscrupulous pirate friends have also come along for the ride.

Writer and director Malcolm Galea has press ganged a cast that includes, Katherine Brown, Joseph Zammit , Steffi Thake, Michael Mangion, Joe Depasquale, Tina Rizzo and Rambert Attard and a high energy chorus plus a mermaid or two and a parrot that embarrasses the audience

Add in the lively music and song from Maestro Paul Abela and Roger Tirazona, Alison White’s exciting choreography. Claudio Apap’s amazing scenery with large projection screens transforming MFCC into a world of magic and make believe, embellished by the outrageous costumes designed by Isabel Warrington, and you have a most spectacular and enjoyable Christmas extravaganza for the whole family.
