Mike Leigh’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance at the London Coliseum.
Sentimental pirates, blundering policeman, absurd adventures and improbable paradoxes – this much-loved comic opera brims with humour, razor-sharp wit and features a sparkling score chock-full of memorable melodies and catchy tunes.
