THE Worcester Gilbert and Sullivan Society will be presenting The Pirates of Penzance at Malvern's Festival Theatre from next Wednesday until Saturday, January 22.

This will be a traditional fully costumed show directed by Denise Churchett, who directed Ruddigore there in 2002 and who appears and produces for other local societies.

Musical director is David Whitehouse, who is in great demand, and there's a full orchestra and a cast of about 50.
