EVENT TAKES PLACE IN CARDIGAN CASTLE 

by Gilbert & Sullivan

Frederick, apprenticed to the Pirates since a child, learns that he was born in a leap year on 29th February, and that he is contracted to the Pirate King until his 21st BIRTHDAY, not his 21st year.  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?  With hilarious melodrama, sharp satire and glittering wit, "The Pirates of Penzance" is as fresh as if it had been written today. It is packed-full of memorable songs such as "To be a Pirate King!"; "Modern Major General" and "A Policeman's Lot is Not a Happy One”.

Also at the Castle on August 1 - Celebrate Visit Wales’ Year of the Sea with Cardigan Castle’s celebration of all things nautical. The Castle will host a one-man theatrical performance of Barti Ddu/Black Bart, there will be fancy dress, an exciting pirate treasure trail and a coracle making demonstration. It’s sure to set the scene for Illyria’s performance of The Pirates of Penzance later that evening.
