Theatre

Outdoor theatre: Illyria presents The Pirates of Penzance at Hatchlands Park

Frederick, accidentally apprenticed to Pirates as a child, is indentured to the Pirate King until his 21st birthday. On the day he reaches 21 he leaves the ship, announcing that he now intends to dedicate his life to the Pirates’ destruction. The Pirate King checks the contract’s small print – and realises that as Frederick’s birthday is 29 February on a leap year he has only had four birthdays and is actually indentured for another 63 years. With only the Penzance constabulary to protect him, will Frederick be forced to serve the pirates until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long? Performed by a six-strong cast of actor/singers with fully orchestrated accompaniment. Running time is approximately 120 mins (including a 20-minute interval).

Festivals & Events

Fontaines C.D : A celebration of Fontaines DC

Fontaines D.C. are a Dublin post-punk band known for raw energy, poetic lyricism, and gritty urban atmospheres. Blending driving rhythms with literary influences, they channel Irish identity, social tension, and emotional intensity. Their sound is urgent yet melodic, delivering powerful performances that feel both introspective and explosively cathartic.
