Pirates Arrrrrrgh a success

Coventry: UK City of Culture 2021

Available for over a year

The opening night of Pirates of the Canal Basin was a huge success with more than 500 people watching the show. It's the biggest production by Coventry-based Ego Performance Company and features aerial skills by Cardiff's No Fit State Circus, magicians, and a live band. The fully immersive and interactive show was produced for the UK City of Culture and saw the Canal Basin transformed into a Pirate harbour complete with a giant life-size ship. BBC CWR's Trish Adudu and City of Culture reporter Ushma Mistry spent the afternoon there ahead of the first show.
