The one-act school musical,
"Ray and
the Pirates of the Lost Cove", is for students in middle school (ca. ages
9-12). The script is written in a humorous way which children of this
age group often find entertaining (especially the somewhat "harsh" but
not "bad" language used by the rather "rude" pirates!). There is a great
deal of liberty which the students can take concerning costumes. The
premiere performance took place on 28 May 2002 in the Theatre of Danube
International School, Vienna.
in the North Sea. They have been out for several hours and
have not seen a single whale. Quite unexpectedly they see a young whale
swimming towards their boat. It looks as though this whale, which they named
"Ray", wants them to follow him.
As an adventure they decide to do just that
(Track 2 "The Ocean Waves are high").
Young Ray leads them through a hidden cave to the “Lost Cove” which turns out to
be the home of some rather mischievous pirates. They find Ray's parents chained
to the dock of the harbour...barely alive. As they attempt to let them free, a
group of young pirates capture the Longworths,
claiming they tried to steal their whales (Track 3 "Life as a wandering
Pirate"). They are sentenced by the rude and
loud Pirate Governor to be shot at midnight (Track 4 "The Question is: How
must they pay?"). Just as they are lined up to be
executed (Track 5 "Twelve O'clock's approaching"), the Queen Pirate (the Governor’s dominant mother) appears and stops
the whole thing. William Longworth and the Queen Pirate come to an agreement
for setting free the whales. All ends well with the pirates and the Longworth
Family becoming friends (Track 6 "Ray of Hope").
