The Pirates of Penzance, 25th to 30th October
AOS make a welcome, riotous return to Gilbert & Sullivan for the first time since 2005’s Mikado, with this classic musical romp. In a nutshell, it’s the story of Frederic, who has been apprenticed to a motley crew of pirates from childhood. Now, having reached the age of 21, he is free to return to land and ease his conscience by bringing the pirate band to justice. On shore he meets Mabel, a beautiful young woman, with whom he instantly falls in love. When the pirates return and capture Mabel and her sisters, it falls to their father, the Major-General, to free them by working on the pirates’ soft spot for orphans. Unfortunately, Frederic discovers that his birthday falls on 29th February, a leap year, and so he still has many years to serve with the pirates in order to work out his time. Will Frederic and Mabel ever be together and will the not-so-wicked pirates be brought to the scaffold by the brave policemen?
