Spring Budleigh 2008: The Pirates of Penzance

Imperial Productions presents in concert Gilbert & Sullivan's

The Pirates of Penzance

Saturday 19 April 2008 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm

at The Public Hall, Budleigh Salterton

Based on our ever-popular and successful format of "Christmas Budleigh", we've decided to head back to our favourite Devonshire seaside town in Spring for the first time. Continuing the Gilbert & Sullivan theme we started last Christmas, we'll put on two semi-staged concert performances of The Pirates of Penzance.

The tale follows Frederic, a young man, through his encounters with a band of tender-hearted orphaned pirates in this story of love, duty and loyalty. The score includes some of Arthur Sullivan's best-loved music, and W S Gilbert's most witty lyrics, with songs including "With cat-like tread", "When the foeman bares his steel", and of course, "I am the very model of a modern Major-General".

The show was be directed by Sarah Hargreaves with musical direction from Wendy Norman.
