Set sail for laughter and music with 'The Pirates of Penzance'

Get ready for a pirate adventure and set sail for laughter and music with a family-friendly operetta. Grantham Operatic Society is set to delight audiences with a lively performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic operetta, The Pirates of Penzance. The show will take place at St Wulfram’s Church, in Grantham , on Saturday, September 7, with both matinee and evening performances scheduled.

The operetta follows the comedic adventures of Frederic, who, despite his intention to lead a respectable life, discovers he is still technically a five-year-old due to his unusual birthday on February 29. This predicament creates a series of humorous situations as Frederic navigates his feelings for Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley, while trying to escape his pirate apprenticeship. The Grantham Operatic Society promises a fresh and engaging rendition of this beloved work, featuring memorable songs like ‘I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General’ and ‘A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One’.



The production, suitable for all ages, will be staged in the picturesque setting of St Wulfram’s Church, adding a unique charm to the experience. Advance tickets are available at £12 for adults and £6 for those aged 16 and under, with half-price tickets designed to encourage younger audiences. Tickets can be purchased from the St Wulfram’s Parish Office or online via TicketSource.

Tickets at the door will be £14..
