Pirates of Penzance

May 2004

Book by W.S. Gilbert
Music by Arthur Sullivan
Lyrics by W.S. Gilbert

The story of "The Pirates of Penzance" revolves around Frederic who, as a child, was apprenticed to a pirate by his nurse Ruth. Being rather hard of hearing, Ruth had mistaken her master's instructions which were to apprentice the boy to a pilot.

With a cast of characters that includes pirates, policemen and a bevy of beautiful girls together with songs such as "I Am The Very Model of a Modern Major General" this is a show that has stood the test of time.
