2009 HMS Pinafore
HMS Pinafore
Traveling down to Portsmouth we ask: Can love really level the class system? The Captain of the Pinafore has hopes that his daughter Josephine will marry the First Lord of the Admiralty - but complications set in when she reveals she is in love with a lowly sailor. Gilbert and Sullivan's evergreen comedy is given a fresh new production.
