The Corporate Pirates of Penzance
Book & Lyrics by Bernard J. Taylor with music adapted from the works of Sir Arthur Sullivan
Principals : 5m, 2f, 1m/f Support: 3m, 6f (plus Chorus)
Bernard J Taylor has taken some of the best tunes from the G&S songbook and has adapted and updated them in this glorious musical pastiche. It's a modern story of love, duty and power struggles - possibly the type of show G&S would have written about had they still been alive! There are some 'in jokes' for those who are familiar with Gilbert and Sullivan, but overall the show has enough humour and familiar melodies to be enjoyed even by those who are not particularly familiar with their works.
