Swashbuckling musical classic sails into Grenoside
A band of lusty buccaneers, a bevy of beautiful sisters, a troop of timid bobbies on the beat, the very model of a modern Major General, and a young pirate apprentice on the eve of his 21st birthday…or is he?
Grenoside and Birley Carr Players are weighing the anchor and splicing the mainbrace as they prepare to set sail with a vibrant new production of one of the most popular comic operettas of all time.
The swashbuckling story of The Pirates of Penzance - an exhilarating blend of comic misadventure and romantic confusion - comes to Grenoside Community Centre from March 24 to 27 at 7.30, with a Saturday matinee on March 28 at 2.30pm.
“We are well known for presenting classic Gilbert and Sullivan and The Pirates of Penzance is always an audience favourite so it seems the perfect time to revisit what has always been one of their greatest and most enduring hits,” said Musical Director Jonathan Hester.
“Our audiences always enjoy our lively approach to the world of G&S and we know this new production will deliver a few surprises, lots of laughs and some great singing.
“The Pirates of Penzance is packed with beautiful music and wonderful comic characters, making it the perfect choice as we shake off winter and look forward to spring.”
Tickets cost £10 for adults and £6 for children and are available via the Grenoside ticket hotline on 01226 754462 or 07971 264322.
