The Pirates
of Penzance was the 5th
collaboration by W.S.
Gilbert and Arthur
Sullivan and was launched
at Fifth Avenue Theatre
in New York, after first
securing the British
copyright with one
performance in Paignton,
Devon, England. The story
hinges on the fact that
when Frederic was a
little lad his parents
instructed Ruth, his
nursery-maid, to
apprentice him as a
seafaring pilot. Being
slightly hard of hearing,
Ruth unfortunately
mis-heard the
instruction. When
Frederic became 21 he was
eligible to become a
fully-fledged pirate, but
to general consternation
declares he will devote
his live to piracy's
extermination. Soon, on
meeting a group of
sisters on their way to
the beach Frederic
implores them to join him
in his attempt to rescue
himself from his dilemma
and is over-joyed when
Mabel, in spite of her
sisters' misgivings,
responds sympathetically
- influenced perhaps by
Frederic's attractive
good Looks - singing
beguiling waltz, 'Poor
Wandering One' and going
even further by
encouraging him to 'Take
heart fair days will
shine, hake any heart,
take mine'!
