Written by the infamous duo of William Gilbert and Arthur
Sullivan, The Pirates of Penzance is a humorous tale of a band of
inept pirates and their young apprentice, who was accidentally pushed into
piracy through a misunderstanding as a child. When the young pirate comes
of age and leaves his mates behind, he encounters a bevy of lovely women
who simply swoon over his masculinity and good looks. The rest of the show
features conflicts between the pirates, the young ex-apprentice, the lovely
girls, and their father, a major general.
