About H.M.S. Pinafore
Life aboard the HMS Pinafore is anything but smooth sailing. Captain Corcoran’s daughter, Josephine, is expected to marry the high-ranking First Lord of the Admiralty. But her heart belongs to someone far below deck — humble sailor Ralph Rackstraw. As the young lovers plot to defy social convention, a twist of fate threatens to capsize their plans.
Will love conquer rank? Or will duty sink their dreams?
Anchored in Portsmouth but destined for global fame, Pinafore was the first Gilbert & Sullivan hit to make waves internationally. This laugh-out-loud staging by Cal McCrystal, first seen in 2021, earned an Olivier Award nomination for its dazzling set and costume design.
With toe-tapping tunes, sharp satire, and a shipload of surprises, this is one voyage you won’t want to miss.
