Sasha Regan’s production was first staged at her original 50-seater Union Theatre in Southwark over a decade ago. From day one it became a critically acclaimed overnight hit, winning Best Off-West End production in the 2009 WhatsOnStage Awards. Following several sell-out runs in the UK, the merry band of pirates toured Australia including a three-week run at the Sydney Theatre thanks to Cate Blanchett who was then co-artistic director. It enjoyed another sell-out run at Wilton’s Music Hall in 2019.
Expect plenty of hilarity from the swashbuckling crew!
