Treasure! A reading with almost real Pirates
Pirates and octopuses, parrots, hats and boats. Families and more pirates.
Today, I did a reading of Treasure in the beautiful Williamstown Botanic Gardens courtesy of their fabulous Friends group. There are so many corners and little nooks in these gardens that we were able to set up in the least windy spot. This is not to say that the wind didn’t find its way down paths and through garden beds, but it mostly waited until the end of my session.
Participants were encouraged to turn up dressed as pirates and that they did, one with a hook hand and another with both a parrot and an octopus! Such riches! We speculated what a pirate might look like and a few hardy souls donned jacket, stripy trews that I’d brought with me.
After the reading, we made hats and then, using the simple magic of paper folding, turned them into boats
I told two new pirate jokes and I collected a few more. Sail on Treasure!
