The Pirates of Penzance - Back by popular demand for the festive season!

Gilbert and Sullivan’s most loved light comic opera, THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, gets a serious overhaul in this hilarious bonsai production.

It will be back by popular demand at the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square with a stellar cast from the 20th November for the festive season. The production will star
David Dennis, Michael Richard, Jonathan Taylor, Keaton Ditchfield and Kevin Kraak (musical director). With just five men, one pianist and a whole lot of dresses, eye patches and swashbuckling, director Greg Homann brings this witty theatrical masterpiece to life.

Originally written for a full orchestra and a cast of thirty plus, now, this never before seen, reduced version, takes the satire and the comedy to its extreme. This is entertainment for young and old.

Don’t miss “Poor Wondering One”, “I am the very model of a modern Major-General", "Hail, Poetry", “When the foeman bares his steel (Tarantara! Tarantara!)” and the other favorites, sung with all the gusto (and falsetto) that an all-star cast of men can muster.

Bring your friends, school, family, colleagues or clients. There are special group bookings discounts and on Tuesdays nights tickets are two for the price of one!

End of Year parties, fundraisers and dinner show packages and can also be arranged. Performances are at 8.15 for Tues – Fri and 2 shows on Saturdays at 6pm and 8.30.

Bookings can be made by calling the theatre on tel. 011-883-8606 or Strictly Tickets on 082 553 5901 or book on-line – www.strictlytickets.com or www.theatreonthesquare.co.za
