Outdoor Theatre: Pirates of Penzance

Outdoor Theatre in association with Day's Peugeot
Illyria brings Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance to the stunning setting of Oystermouth Castle for a magical evening of outdoor theatre. Join us at 7pm on 26 August 2026 for this witty musical under the open sky.
About the show:
Frederick was born in a leap year on 29th February and is contracted to the Pirate King until his 21st BIRTHDAY, not his 21st year. Can the inept Penzance constabulary protect him? How will he endure a life of crime until he is 84? And will his sweetheart, Mabel, wait for him that long? Packed with hilarious melodrama, sharp satire and glittering wit and as fresh as if it had been written today.
This performance is presented by Swansea Council in association with Day's Peugeot.
Our historic castle provides a stunning backdrop for outdoor theatre. Bring your own chairs, blankets, food, and drinks, and settle in for a relaxed evening under the open sky. Food and drinks will also be available to purchase, along with deckchairs available for hire.
