Tues 2 – Sat 6 June 7.30pm Sat Matinee 2.30pm This award-winning and exquisitely funny new take on the much-loved classic was a huge critical and popular hit during its London and Australia runs, and is a must-see for fans of all things musical, witty and imaginative. The tale of a child apprenticed to a band of tender hearted, orphaned pirates was an immediate triumph for Gilbert and Sullivan and remains their most popular and successful work.
