The Pirates of Penzance

• 120mins

The West Yorkshire Savoyards make a welcome return to The Georgian Theatre Royal with the wonderful, swashbuckling Gilbert and Sullivan masterpiece, The Pirates of Penzance.

This audience favourite, packed full of sentimental pirates, a blundering policeman, absurd adventures and improbable paradoxes contains some of Sullivan's most memorable melodies and Gilbert’s quick-fire humour.

Frederic, a pirate’s apprentice, falls head-over-heels in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley but there’s a snag. Although very much in love, his dedication to duty is unshakeable. Can they find a way to live happily-ever-after?!

Audiences were thrilled with last year’s visit by the ‘Savs’ and this year’s touring production is not to be missed. Directed by comic-actor and ‘patter-man’, Graham Weston, the two shows include full sets, costumes and professional orchestra conducted by musical director, Oliver Longstaff.
