About This Event
Illyria will perform The Pirates of Penzance as an outdoor theatre event at Gibside on August 18th. The show begins at 19:00.
Set sail for silliness as young Frederic discovers he’s been accidentally apprenticed to a band of hopelessly cheerful pirates, and thanks to a leap‑year birthday, he might be stuck with them until he’s 84. Cue chaos, catchy tunes, and a whole lot of “ooh‑arr!”
With bumbling buccaneers and a love story that refuses to wait 63 years, Gilbert & Sullivan's fast‑paced, laugh‑packed show is bursting with brilliant songs and larger‑than‑life characters. Perfect for families who love adventure, music, and a good giggle.
