ESSGEE'S PIRATES OF PENZANCE
Gilbert and Sullivan for the 21st Century
By arrangement with David Spicer Productions www.davidspicer.com.au representing Simon Gallaher and Essgee Entertainment.
Original Production Director and Choreographer Craig Shaefer.
Orchestrations by Kevin Hocking. Additional Lyrics by Melvyn Morrow.
A GLORIOUS THING TO BE A PIRATE KING!
Essgee's Pirates of Penzance came onto the scene in 1994 and has been a crowd favourite ever since. This adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic is a riotous 'poperetta' story of a roguish pirate king and his young charge who explore the coastline in search of treasure and romance. Sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to ridiculous dictates of honour and duty.
The enchanting arias remain as beautiful as ever, but this production features more laughs and a modern sound that gives a refreshing take on the G&S classic comedy of mistaken identity.
