(Swash) buckle up for an epic voyage…

Hayes Artistic Directors Richard Carroll and Victoria Falconer harness the irreverent, genre-busting spirit of a sprawling, satirical, musical masterwork, and bring it to raucous new life for a 21st-century audience. This brand-new, boisterously joyful adaptation is brought to life by just four bold performers (plus one even bolder onstage swing!).

Between them, this intrepid quartet bring to life:

  • The Pirate King, devoted to a life of swashbuckling and skullduggery – as long as the hours aren’t too demanding.

  • Ruth, the nursemaid who hasn’t been entirely truthful, but who reveals a natural talent and appetite for piracy.

  • Mabel, a young woman thirsty for new experiences (and just plain thirsty).

  • Frederic, our young hero thrown into an existential battle between his old and new worlds by a series of irritating administrative errors.

  • A Major-General devoted to respectability, but tormented by the shame he has brought onto his ancestors-by-purchase.

  • Plus; the motley pirate crew, a troupe of singing police recruits, Mabel’s eclectic group of sisters; and the faithful piratical accomplice/pianist, Fish Cake.

Book onstage seating to be a part of the action!
