Aboard Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore, Josephine, the daughter of Captain Corcoran, is in love with Ralph Rackstraw, an Able Seaman. However, she is about to be betrothed to Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., First Lord of the Admiralty, who is visiting the ship together with a his sister, cousin, and aunt.

With the original music and much of Gilbert's lyrics, this production of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta - presented here in a new version by Herbert Appleman - highlights the hilarious character, Dick Deadeye, as the cutting raconteur. Following the success of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance in 2000 and 2001, this promises to be an energetic extravaganza of a show - not to be missed!

The 2005 Season at The Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park also includes: Twelfth Night and Cymbeline.
