The Pirates of Penzance

Frederic, apprenticed as an infant to a crew of notoriously soft-hearted pirates, falls in love with Mabel, one of the many wards of Major-General Stanley. But the terms of Frederic’s indenture, along with his own keen sense of duty, keep the lovers apart. How can this sorry state of affairs be resolved?

The Pirates of Penzance performs in repertory at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.
