The Pirates of Penzance

The genius of Gilbert and Sullivan comes alive in their most famous work, The Pirates of Penzance.

In the show, the young pirate apprentice Frederic is about to be freed from his indentured period. The honorable Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates by his partially deaf nursemaid Ruth, has decided to leave the pirate life. Now a free man, Frederic leaves for the shore. He instantly falls in love with Mabel, one of the daughters of Major-General Stanley. Soon, the pirates arrive and want to marry the rest of Major-General Stanley's daughters. The Major enlists the help of the police to stop the pirates. Frederic desires to help Major-General Stanley and the police protect the ladies, but soon he discovers that due to a technicality, he is still bound by duty to remain an apprentice to the pirates. However, all is well in the end thanks to an unforeseen twist....
