The Pirates of Penzance at Utah Shakespeare Festival

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCEBy W. S. Gilbert and Arthur SullivanDirected by Cassie AbateJune 26September 5, 2020Randall L. Jones TheatreA shipload of sentimental pirates. A bevy of giggling maidens. A band of bumbling policemen. And a British officer given to hyperbole and patter, i.e. I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General. All these and more bring fun and sparkle to one of the most charmingly silly operettas ever to grace the stage. Frederic, our hero, is governed by duty and forced to abandon his new-found love, Mable, and join the pirate trade. Alas and alack! Must he truly lose Mabel, or can he find a way out of this frivolous conundrum?
