A queer re-imagining of the masterpiece THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, this abridged adaptation of the classic work takes Gilbert and Sullivan's well-known topsy-turvy storytelling a step further, exploring a "post-gay" vision of comic operetta.

Staged in Temple University's intimate Randall Theater (home to the sold-out run of 2010's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM) PIRATES is the perfect romp to end summer!
