King Neptune (Mark Wilkins) looks fearful as Alan Dudgeon tugs his huge beard during a scene from this school play.

The Treasure Seekers, written by teacher Thelma Telling, was the annual production at Speedwell First School, Littlemore, Oxford, in 1979.

More than 100 children, aged five to seven, gave three performances of the play and received rapturous applause at the end from the audience.
