THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
(1983)
A GILBERT & SULLIVAN CLASSIC!
Frederic was, as a child, apprenticed to a band of
tenderhearted, orphaned pirates by his nurse who,
being hard of hearing, had mistaken her master's
instructions to apprentice the boy to a pilot.
Frederic, upon
completing his 21st year, rejoices
that he has fulfilled his indentures and is now free
to return to respectable society. But it turns out
that he was born on February 29, Leap Year Day,
and he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his
21st *birthday* (when he's 84!).
This is an
excellent cast who portray Gilbert and
Sullivan's words with great talent and humor. It is
such a fun movie. The kind you want to watch
more than once. There
are several versions of this
delightful opera, but this one beats them all!
