What controlled substances were Gilbert & Sullivan on when they wrote this crazy story? Cast of St Andrews G & S Soc do the operetta proud with minimal help from sets or props. Not enough lads to play the pirates? Create some same sex couples... Strong voices and great projection! Get yourself to Augustines on KGIV Bridge to hear for yourself.
