HMS Pinafore
This is a tale of mismatched love across different social classes. Josephine is the captain’s daughter and has fallen for lowly sailor Ralph. Yet her father has other ideas – he has promised her to Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty.
Will love prevail? Climb aboard to find out and enjoy a feast of fun along the way. Hip hip hooray!
The action takes place on the quarterdeck of HMS Pinafore which is anchored in Portsmouth harbour.
H.M.S. Pinafore comes to Hospital of St Cross in a delightful open-air performance by leading touring company Opera Anywhere.
