HMS Pinafore
or The Lass Who Loved A Sailor
April 27th - 29th, 2006
RCMPI sets sail with another Gilbert and Sullivan production.
Aboard the HMS Pinafore, Gilbert and Sullivan’s hilarious tale of love, hypocrisy and mistaken identities unravels when the Captain’s daughter falls secretly in love with a common sailor. Pledged by her father to marry the mighty Sir Joseph Porter, the ‘ruler of the Queens Navy’, young Josephine finds herself hopelessly torn between love and duty and confused by the responsibilities of class. But a remarkable twist of fate changes all when a long-kept secret is revealed, somersaulting our heroes into a heady climax of fun, frivolity and fortune.
