Description
The Pirates of Penzance
The inimitable Anthony Warlow dons his cutlass for another voyage as Gilbert & Sullivan’s foot-stomping, wise-cracking, feel-good show sails back into town, complete with its crazy cartoons, swashbuckling heroes and dainty heroines, performed by the stars of Opera Australia.
Some pirates sail the Caribbean. Some search for buried treasure. Some do all kinds of terrible deeds, but not these ones. Prepare to meet the soppiest, silliest set of pirates that ever were, led by a Pirate King who loves to sing.
Gilbert and Sullivan's fifth collaboration has long been high on the list of all-time favourites, but no one could have predicted the runaway success of this production, directed by Stuart Maunder and designed by Roger Kirk.
If you didn't see Pirates the first time round, this is your chance to see a show the whole of Australia loved. If you did see it, you'll know to bring the family to enjoy favourites like 'Poor wand'ring one', 'A policeman's lot is not a happy one' and 'Hurrah for the Pirate King', performed with zest and style by the stars of Opera Australia.
