When musical conductor Frederick Freemarket inherits his uncle's Wall Street investment company, he dreams of rescuing the world from economic doldrums. The company is worth twelve billion dollars - what could possibly go wrong? But golden dreams can hold hidden surprises, especially on Wall Street: love blossoms, tension mounts and spirits rise to a height of irrational exuberance that few can scale, before - in a classic Gilbert & Sullivan topsy-turvy twist - all ends in perfect harmony.

The Pirates of Finance plays for five performances on the following schedule: Monday, Jul 15th, 2013 at 9:00pm; Tuesday, Jul 16th, 2013 at 1:00pm; Thursday, Jul 18th, 2013 at 5:00pm; Thursday, Jul 18th, 2013 at 9:00pm; Saturday, Jul 20th, 2013 at 9:00pm.
