THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE The pirates are celebrating young Frederic’s coming-of-age…but he doesn’t want to be a pirate! Instead, he wants the beautiful maiden Mabel’s hand in marriage and to exterminate his prior piratical patriots. The Pirates of Penzance is a comical farce and classical operetta at its finest.
It’s a long hot summer in Philadelphia, and the Continental Congress is an exhausted, annoyed, and quarrelsome collection of men. John Adams, the passionate crusader, races against time: if the tenets of independence can’t be articulated, General Washington’s painfully outnumbered army will have no ideal for which to fight. But the cantankerous Adams is struggling to assert his arguments and this large group of strong-minded individuals isn’t coming together. They might have a chance if Thomas Jefferson would write a declaration. Under these conditions, how will America ever achieve Independence?
