Overview

Presented by Kirwan State High School

Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance, is packed full of sentimental pirates, blundering policeman, absurd adventures and improbable paradoxes.

Frederic, a pirate’s apprentice, falls head-over-heels in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley. Frederic is due to be released from his apprenticeship on his 21st birthday, but there’s a snag. Born on 29 February, Frederic discovers that he is technically still a youngster. Although very much in love, his dedication to duty is unshakeable. Can he find a way to live happily-ever-after with Mabel?

Embark on a delightful journey where we unravel the captivating storyline of this timeless comic opera. Dive into the adventures of its charming characters, listen to the best songs and prepare to laugh your socks off with Kirwan State High School’s production of The Pirates of Penzance!
