Description

A Gilbert and Sullivan musical about an apprenticed pirate, Frederic, who is torn by conflicting loyalties but is ultimately a slave of duty. Apprenticed at a tender age to a pirate king until the age of 21, Frederic, feels compelled to destroy the gang when his apprenticeship is at an end. The period of apprenticeship as well as the comeliness of the old and wily nursery maid whom Frederic woos becomes open to dispute and the gang of pirates that would be betrayed by Frederic are revealed as noblemen. Things are not what they seem and yet everything is happily resolved.
