Marking Centre Stage's 50th Anniversary year, we are extremely proud to present the Pirates of Penzance - the first show ever staged by the society!

A comedic Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Pirates of Penzance, is packed full of sentimental pirates, blundering policemen, absurd adventures and paradoxes galore set in the lovely coast of Cornwall. 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?

Performance Dates: Tuesday 8th  – Saturday 12th Nov 2016
