Stash the gold, guard the women and hide the rum - the 'Pirates' are coming!

Wacky, irreverent and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879, "Pirates" spins an hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honour and duty.
