Hayes Theatre Co: The Pirates of Penzance.
18 May @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm AEST

For the first time ever, Hayes Theatre Co brings one of its landmark productions to the Foundry Theatre stage.
Five actors. Every role.
After a sold-out extended season at Hayes, plus stops in Wyong, Wollongong and Canberra, this acclaimed, irreverent adaptation of The Pirates of Penzance returns — madcap, hilarious, and bursting with invention.
In a breathtaking theatrical feat, five performers play pirates, lovers, sisters, Major-Generals and many, many more, transforming before your eyes at breakneck speed. It’s bold, it’s chaotic, and it’s a stroke of hilarious genius.
The original mega-musical – Re-wired. Re-booted. Re-DUCED!
