H.M.S. Pinafore

A Hayes Theatre Co. Production

Identity, sisters, sailors and the trickiest of tongue twisters around!

Set sail on the high seas with Gilbert & Sullivan’s beloved comedy of star-crossed lovers, mismatched marriages and mistaken identities.

Award winning director, Kate Gaul, makes her Hayes Theatre Co. debut with this re-imagined, gender-bending, hyper-theatrical and kinky take on this Gilbert & Sullivan classic.

This nautical caper overflowing with infectious tunes such as ‘I am the Monarch of the Sea’, ‘I’m Called Little Buttercup’ and ‘He is an Englishman’, H.M.S. Pinafore is a sharp satire of the English social hierarchical system of the Victorian Age.

Pinafore’s extraordinary popularity in Britain, America and elsewhere was followed by the similar success of a series of Gilbert & Sullivan works, including The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado. If you’re looking for a great night out with captivating choreography, exquisite costumes and the songs that ushered in a new era of entertainment, then don’t miss out on this rollicking farce and get set for some hysterical hi-jinks on the high seas.
