The Gilbert & Sullivan classic… re-wired and re-booted.
(Swash) buckle in for an epic voyage as the Hayes Theatre Co 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, including Jay Laga’aia and Brittanie Shipway.
Between them, this intrepid quartet bring to life:
Their 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.
