This fresh approach to a time-honoured classic has won critical and public approval on both sides of the Atlantic. The Pirates of Penzance contains some of the very best music Sullivan ever wrote – I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General, Poor Wandering One, If A Felon’s Not Engaged In His Employment, I Am The Pirate King, With Catlike Tread, When The Foeman Bares His Steel.
The Broadway version features all of these time-honoured tunes and adds a comic dimension to the tender-hearted pirate and, ‘lovely’ daughters and foolhardy police corps which brings the production bang up to date.
Haslemere Players set a high standard for non-professional theatre, regularly achieving NODA ‘accolades of excellence’. This production is definitely a ‘must see’.
