Pirates of Penzance
ARGH!! The Pirates are back!
The Pirate King is back for the 5th year! This hilarious adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic operetta is staged in one hour, with an amazing local cast of only eight featuring some of South Australia's best local performers with live piano accompaniment!
This year we are mixing it up a little by holding special performances in a space that feels like a ship, think Jarrah wooden floors, rammed earth walls and a diagrid roof! There may be cake! As always we will still have our regular Popeye cruise performances too! Yep, Pirates of Penzance on a moving boat...with only half the cast on board at the start!
Dress lightly for the boat and celebrate our 5th year with us - feel free to come orphan!
Sold out 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017!
NOTE: Only the performance at the National Wine Centre Feburary 19th will have an Auslan Interpreter
