Prospero Arts and QPAC's 2024 production of Gilbert and Sullivan's 'The Pirates of Penzance – in Concert'. Two actors kneel on the stage, with the orchestra and conductor visible behind them. The woman wears a red and orange Victorian dress and straw hat; she is smiling broadly at a young man in a blue and yellow jacket, opened to reveal his white short and white trousers. He wears high black boots and a colourful scarf dangles from his waist.
