In high school I wrote a pirate play for my drama class which was titled "Deep in the Caribbean", so the thespian object above struck close to home.

I have scoured the Kotaku archives via Google and our own tapeworm-riddled internal search system, but I still cannot be absolutely sure that this has not been posted before.

With that bitter disclaimer firmly installed, I offer up on the sacrificial altar this faboy gem: a high school play adaptation of the Secret of Monkey Island.

There are serious problems, of course. The acting, at its best, approaches "charming" (the Voodoo Lady was the best bit), and the necessary edits made to avoid high-budget things like cannons and shoes are never very palatable, but the raw spirit of the production is notable, as is the fact that they pulled it off at all.

Some stuff that doesn't matter, and then links to the rest of the videos after the jump.

As a teeth-gritting aside, the acting in this play is vastly superior to Alone in the Dark, which I watched last night out of a sick sense of duty to my Kotaku Scouts. I had never seen an Uwe Boll film, you see, and felt remiss in being confined to generalized statements of negativity regarding that horrible man. Now I can cite specific examples of his oppressive lack of talent. Such as: when Slater goes home to the orphanage and meets his step-nun, a redheaded girl comes down the stairs and offers to make them tea.

That one line is so horrendously delivered, so talentlessly pitched and poorly intoned, that it made me simultaneously sob with hopelessness at another forty minutes of boring swill, and titter like a club kid after a hysterical whippet binge. Seriously, that one line. I wish I could find it on YouTube. Eliza gaugarrrrr
