Illyria Theatre is coming to Gunnersbury Park. Join them for a night of theatre under the stars and enjoy a witty, feel-good theatre treat packed with iconic songs and sharp satire.

Frederick, accidentally apprenticed to Pirates as a child, is indentured to the Pirate King until his 21 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 actors/singers with fully orchestrated accompaniment.
