Lyrics by William S. Gilbert

Gilbert and Sullivanıs classic operetta tells the story of Frederic, a honest young lad mistakenly apprenticed as a boy to an unruly band of ³orphan² pirates. Now 21, and believing his indentured service complete, he sets out on a light-hearted quest for his true identity. Faced with the temptations of freedom, loyalty, honor, and true love, his journey includes his sentimental comrades in crime, (ruled by the irreverent Pirate King), a keenly unskilled Major General and his flock of unwed daughters, and a bumbling bunch of keystone cops. Good fun for the whole family.
