or The Slave of Duty
Re-wired and Re-booted
By Gilbert and Sullivan
Adapted by Richard Carroll
Four performers, one piano… Gilbert and Sullivan like you’ve never seen it before!
Making waves in the Sydney theatre scene, Hayes Theatre Co captures the spirit of Off-Broadway in Australia and now they harness the irreverent, genre-busting spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance.
From the same creative team that brought us Once, this brand-new, boisterously joyful adaptation is brought to life by four bold performers, playing all the roles! Sail away in pure escapism with the Pirate King, Ruth, Mabel, and Frederic, as they navigate the high seas of romance, work-life balance, and irritating administrative errors. Plus, a motley crew of singing police, Major Generals and more!
In the spirit of 2018’s Calamity Jane, you can immerse yourself in the world of piracy with special on-stage seating. Don’t miss out on this mad-cap, satirical musical, that now comes to life for a very modern world.
