Sasha Regan’s critically acclaimed All-male version of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore or “The Lass That Loved a Sailor” sails into 5 ports throughout the spring and summer with more dates likely to be announced.
The production follows hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed, award-winning All-male The Pirates of Penzance which ran at Wilton’s earlier this year. Pirates toured both in the UK and in Australia including at Cate Blanchett’s Sydney Theatre in 2012 where it ran in the main house for three weeks.
The award-winning team that brought the All-male The Pirates of Penzance to Wilton’s Music Hall take you below deck in a re-imagining of Gilbert and Sullivan’s fourth collaboration and first internationally acclaimed comic opera: H.M.S. Pinafore. Sasha Regan’s production is set on a World War II ship where troops set out a distraction from the goings on above board. The captain’s daughter has fallen for a lower-class sailor.…but what lies in store for the lass and her hearty seafarer?
With infectious tunes and a beautifully constructed libretto, this wonderful comic opera deals with conventionality and the age-old conundrum of love between social classes. Plenty of surprises and romantic capers on the high seas!
Joyful, witty and fun for all the family! Get your salty sea legs over to a theatre near you! Don’t miss it me hearties!
Sasha Regan’s all-male H.M.S. Pinafore will run at Wilton’s Music Hall from 15th April until 9th May 2020. The production will then tour to The Theatre Royal, Bath 12-16 May; The Theatre Royal Winchester 1-6 June; The Cambridge Arts Theatre 8-13 June; and Exeter Northcott Theatre 22-24 June.
The cast will be announced in the New Year.
