Sometimes, skulls and crossbones can be a bit of a bind.

Frederic can’t wait to turn 21. He never really wanted to be a pirate and sail the Cornish Main. But for now he’s caught between a marauding crew that lacks killer instinct, a squad of overly empathetic policemen, and a modern major-general’s bevy of purposeful daughters. Chock-a-block with wit, charm and a treasure trove of hits, Gilbert and Sullivan sail triumphantly back into Holland Park.
