The Pirates of Penzance

Paul Nicholas stars in this lively rendition of one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular comic operas supported by full cast and orchestra.

Orphaned pirates, flat-footed policemen and a bevy of blushing beauties (the daughters of Major General Stanley) are the perfect ingredients for a fabulous feast of Gilbert and Sullivan. Elegantly recreating the original period settings and costumes, this acclaimed production combines Sullivan's ever-popular and sparkling score with what has to be the most topsy turvey of all Gilbert's plots. Venture with us into the swashbuckling world of Frederic the pirate apprentice, who - born on February 29th in a leap year - won't come of age' until he is 84!
