About The Pirates of Penzance
(Swash) buckle up for an epic voyage...
Hayes Artistic Directors Richard Carroll and Victoria Falconer harness the irreverent, genre-busting spirit of a sprawling, satirical, musical masterwork, and bring it to raucous new life for a 21st-century audience. This brand-new, boisterously joyful adaptation is brought to life by just four bold performers.
Between them, this intrepid quartet bring to life: • The Pirate King, devoted to a life of swashbuckling and skullduggery – as long as the hours aren’t too demanding. • Ruth, the nursemaid who hasn’t been entirely truthful, but who reveals a natural talent and appetite for piracy. • Mabel, a young woman thirsty for new experiences (and just plain thirsty). • Frederic, our young hero thrown into an existential battle between his old and new worlds by a series of irritating administrative errors. • A Major-General devoted to respectability but tormented by the shame he has brought onto his ancestors-by-purchase. • Plus; the motley pirate crew, a troupe of singing police recruits, Mabel’s eclectic group of sisters; and the faithful piratical accomplice/pianist, Fish Cake.
