A rollicking band of young pirates (and maidens and policemen) are coming to the Fringe this year to present Gilbert and Sullivan’s most-beloved comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance.
On his twenty-first birthday, and with his pirate apprenticeship complete, Frederic leaves his crew to seek love and redemption in the form of the beautiful (if somewhat nutty) Mabel. But when a startling paradox is revealed, will Frederic’s sense of duty doom him to betray her? And what of Ruth, the middle-aged nursemaid he once loved?
The Pirates of Penzance is sure to have the whole family humming along. So join us as we embark on a swashbuckling musical adventure!
Performances: 9th-11th & 13th-15th August 2015, Time: 15:05 (2h10)
Venue: Paradise in Augustines (Fringe Venue 152), Tickets: £10 / £8 / £30 Family
