Orphaned pirates, flat-footed policemen and a bevy of blushing maidens (the pretty daughters of Major General Stanley) are all the ingredients for a fabulous recipe of Gilbert and Sullivan at their very best. Set on a Victorian seashore, elegantly recreating original period settings and costumes with exquisite detail, this production sparkles with wit and musical moments, all fully staged in the round.
Sullivan’s ever popular and memorable score contains some of his most beautiful writing as Gilbert, in his most topsy-turvy of all plots, leads us through the swashbuckling world of young Frederic, the pirate apprentice, who was born on 29 February and therefore won't come of age until he is 84!
