The Pirates of Penzance
 

Merrigong Theatre Company presents the Gilbert and Sullivan classic The Pirates of Penzance at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre from 26 to 29 March 2025.

Five performers, one piano, this is Gilbert and Sullivan like you’ve never seen before!

Making waves in the Sydney theatre scene, Hayes Theatre Co captures the spirit of Off-Broadway in Australia, and now they harness the irreverent, genre-busting spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance.

This brand-new, boisterously joyful adaptation is brought to life by four bold performers, playing all the roles! Sail away in pure escapism with the Pirate King, Ruth, Mabel, and Frederic, as they navigate the high seas of romance, work-life balance, and irritating administrative errors. Plus, a motley crew of singing police, Major Generals and more.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
