Broadway Pirates
First performed in the late 1980s, the Broadway version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta The Pirates of Penzance was the brain¬child of producer Joseph Papp.
Re-orchestrated for a band, and with the characters being given an up-beat facelift for the 20th century, the result achieved immediate success. Its plot however follows the traditional fore-runner.
Publicity photos were taken in front of The Katherine May in Southwark by kind permission of The Maritime Trust.
