Pirate Captain Romy O has sailed into town and is on the hunt for treasure. Prince Unzel of Tervuren is horrified when the King and Queen announce that he is to marry the wicked Wizard’s daughter, Desiree. But when Unzel and Romy come face to face at a party, love is in the air. Soon the pirates, Desiree and the Prince’s old nanny are all trying to get hold of the map leading to the wizard’s treasure. When Romy takes a sleeping potion and fakes her own death, is there tragedy on the cards? Or will we all spend a night laughing at the chaos and comedy involved as they work their way towards a happy ending?
Panto, or 'British Pantomime', is a form of interactive musical comedy theatre. This English-language, family show has a plot based on a well known story. Audience members are encouraged to shout out phrases to the performers and to sing along with certain parts. With wonderful characters, surprises galore, music, jokes, and drama, it is one of the craziest theatre events you could hope to see.
The Pantaloons are a group of volunteers (mainly BSB parents, staff, students and alumni) who put on a panto each year. This year’s show has all the fun and laughter you have come to expect from a Pantoloons production. It's sure to be a sell-out, so you really shouldn’t miss your chance to see it! Oh no you shouldn’t!
Previous Productions
Our 2023 production – Puss in Boots
A tail (pun intended) of a cat who can walk with boots on his paws and who can talk. A puss whose ideas and loyalty help his master meet skint royalty. Of course it's not as easy as that, as the cat must fight with a wicked ogre.
Our 2022 production – Ali Baba
Ali Baba is a happy, contented young woodcutter whose world is turned upside down when he stumbles across a band of thieves. With the local 'police force' unable to help, Ali decides that he must take action to stop the thieves and return the stolen property to its rightful owners.
Our 2021 production – A Celebration of Panto
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we had to cancel our planned 2021 production. Instead, we kept the Panto spirit alive with the video extravaganza 'A Celebration of Panto' - the next best best thing to watching a live Panto performance.

Our 2020 production – Alice in Wonderland
Sell-out houses came to meet Alice, our intrepid heroine, whose curiosity took her all the way down a rabbit-hole and into the magical world of Wonderland. They joined her on a fantastical journey, meeting some crazy characters along the way – the unusual Mad Hatter, the mysterious Cheshire Cat, the hilarious Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and the slightly scary Queen of Hearts!
What would happen to Alice in this amazing land? Would good finally triumph over evil? And how would she ever get home again?
