h.m.s pinafore

|
The earliest enduring success of Gilbert and Sullivan’s famous collaboration, H.M.S Pinafore is a firm favourite with audiences. Gilbert uses the strictly hierarchical society of life on board the H.M.S. Pinafore to satirise the rigidity of the British Class system, in this topsy-turvy tale of love levelling all ranks.
It contains some of Sullivan's sunniest music and tells the story of Josephine the Captain's daughter and her love for a lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw, despite being promised in marriage to the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter. Gilbert uses the strictly hierarchical society of life on board the H.M.S Pinafore to satirise the rigidity of the British Class system.
With many well known songs, including ‘I am the Monarch of the sea’, ‘I’m called little Buttercup’ and ‘He is an Englishman’, this production promises 90 minutes of rollicking choruses and tender tunes imbued with the unique wit and infectious energy of a CCO production, to be enjoyed by all ages.
