With only the inept Penzance constabulary to protect him, how will he resist being forced to endure a life of crime until he is 84 – and will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long? Described as \u2018hilarious melodrama, sharp satire and glittering wit\u2019 the show is packed with memorable songs such as To be a Pirate King!, Modern Major General and A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One.<\/p>\n Admission: Adult \u00a318.00, Child (under 12 years) \u00a312.00 – booking fees apply.

How about some outdoor theatre in Penarth? <\/strong>Join Illyria on Thursday evening 25th August <\/strong><\/span>,for an outdoor theatre production <\/strong><\/span>of The Pirates of Penzance in the beautiful Kymin Garden, Penarth. It could be an idea to bring a picnic but as there is no shelter be sure to dress for the weather. The performance starts at 7.00pm although doors will be open at 6.00pm. The show runs for 2 hours 10 minutes, including a 20 minute interval. Light refreshments will be available.<\/p>\n
