Coming Soon: The Pirates of Penzance
This autumn, St Davids Players is proud to reveal they’ll be performing one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s greatest and most entertaining works – The Pirates of Penzance.
The Pirates of Penzance tells the story of Frederic, a young man mistakenly apprenticed to a band of pirates until his 21st birthday, who falls in love with Mabel, daughter of the bumbling Major-General Stanleyhowever. However, a twist reveals Frederic was born on a leap day, meaning he technically hasn’t reached 21, forcing him back to the pirates until his next birthday decades later. Through comical situations, love, and a maid’s revelation, can Frederic ultimately escapes his pirate duty and wins Mabel’s hand?
Come back to the website soon for more information about this exciting production.
