Cast Set For New Production of Sasha Regan's All-Male THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

Following critically acclaimed highly successful all-male productions of H.M.S. Pinafore and The Mikado, Sasha Regan will return to London's Wilton's Music Hall with a new production of her award-winning all-male production of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance.

The Pirates of Penzance will run from Tuesday 29 October to Saturday 23 November.
Press night is Thursday 31 October at 7.30pm.

It will also tour to Theatre Royal Winchester (8-12 October) Cambridge Arts Theatre (14-19 October) and Theatre Royal Bath (2-7 December).

Sasha Regan's original All-Male G&S production has now been winning awards and playing to sold out houses around the world for 15 years. Fast and funny and packed with wit and musical excellence, this is the tale of Frederic, apprenticed in error to a band of tender-hearted, orphaned pirates. His plans to marry are thrown into disarray when it is discovered that he was born on the 29th of February, and won't come of age until he is 84!

The Pirates of Penzance was an immediate triumph, and remains one of Gilbert and Sullvan's most popular and successful works. Sasha Regan's extraordinary production adds another delicious twist to this musical classic. Regan's idea to transform these much-loved classics into all-male productions stems from her own experience performing Gilbert and Sullivan at a single-sex school. Her shows are renowned for playing on the unique humour it creates.
