Event Information

Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert & Sullivan. Frederick was born in a leap year on 29th February and is contracted to the Pirate King until his 21st BIRTHDAY, not his 21st year. Can the inept Penzance constabulary protect him? How will he endure a life of crime until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long? Packed with hilarious melodrama, sharp satire and glittering wit and as fresh as if it had been written today.

Running time (approx): 2hrs (inc 20 minute interval) Suitable for all ages. Under-3s go free. Gates open at 6pm.

Outdoor theatre. Assistance dogs only
