The Pirates of Penzance

Gilbert and Sullivan

The award-winning JLOS return with a G&S favourite

21-year-old pirate Frederic has a sense of duty and will stick to his apprenticeship, even though the contract was made in error. He would much prefer freedom and Mabel, one of Major-General Stanley’s lovely daughters. The major-general feels bad about lying to escape the gullible pirates, but not so bad that he doesn’t send the police in pursuit. Enjoy Gilbert’s witty words and Sullivan’s sparkling music in a traditional production with live orchestra and bespoke set, and see how it all works out in the end.
