This is a story of the orphan Frederic. The son of a wealthy 19th century man, Frederic's fate takes a sudden twist when, after his father's death, his hard of hearing nursemaid finds him an apprentice as a pirate instead of a pilot! He fulfils his apprenticeship with not just any old pirate, rather, it's with the Pirate King himself, the leader of the not so fierce "Pirate of Penzance." But now age 21 and with his indenture ending, Frederic's sense of duty calls him to rid the seas of his former friends. Despite their track record, the pirates believe they have an ace up their collective sleeves, a way of keeping Frederic amongst them. This delightful rollicking story includes some of Gilbert & Sullivan's most famous tunes, including "I am a Pirate King" and "I am the very model of" a modern major general. |
