Outdoor Theatre: The Pirates of Penzance
Join award-winning Illyria Theatre in the gardens at Hanbury Hall as they perform Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance on Saturday 22 August.
Frederick was born in a leap year on 29th February and is contracted to the Pirate King until his 21st BIRTHDAY, not his 21st year. Can the inept Penzance constabulary protect him? How will he endure a life of crime until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long? Packed with hilarious melodrama, sharp satire and glittering wit and as fresh as if it had been written today.
Running time:
120-minutes (approx.), including a 20-minute interval
Suitability:
Suitable for all ages.
Please note:
- When you arrive at the venue, parking is available in the main visitor car park. The performance area is located on the events lawn, to the right hand side of the Hall.
- Make sure you bring a blanket or chair to sit on, weather-appropriate gear, and a picnic if you wish.
- The performance area is approx. 180 meters from the visitor car park, on the events lawn next to the Hall. A buggy will be available to transport you from the car park to the performance area if needed. The performance area is wheelchair accessible, and there is an accessible toilet in the café.
