The Pirates of Penzance, 2005

showtimes | review | staff | cast | orchestra

The Pirate King is coming! Under the inventive artistic direction of Derrick Ivey, tender-hearted pirates, beautiful maidens, and a very model modern major general jovially unscramble questions of identity, duty, and love. Presented by the Durham Savoyards, merrily mounting the works of Gilbert and Sullivan since 1963.
