An all-star cast of Savoyards led by Alistair McGowan perform a semi-staged concert performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious masterpiece. Orphaned pirates, flat footed policemen and a bevy of blushing maidens are the ingredients of this much loved masterpiece, which overflows with brilliant wit and memorable music, including:
A Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy One; I Am a Pirate King; Hail, Poetry; The Modern Major General; With Cat-Like Tread; Poor Wandering One; Here's A First Rate Opportunity and Climbing Over Rocky Mountain.
