Part-funded by Public Health, two KS2 year 5 classes from St Charles Primary School (RBKC) and service users from a nearby Alzheimer’s day centre, Chamberlain House, enjoyed a variety of activities based around popular themes and music from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance, culminating with a performance of the operetta delivered by a professional cast of opera singers. Participants took part in a series of workshops, both independently and jointly, with children from St Charles Primary School travelling to Chamberlain house for combined sessions.

  • TI World Language Materials
    World Language Connections: Treasure Island Teacher Tidbits The “piratespeak” people try to reproduce today certainly comes from literature and stereotypes; the real thing was probably a mixture of at least English, French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic. There are very few written documents. From what is known and documented about pirate life and culture, one can deduce there would never really have been one language that pirates spoke. This is because piracy has been practiced for hundreds and hundreds of years by seafaring peoples from all over the world, and they didn't exactly band together into one group. Pirates would have spoken languages from the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, India, East Asia, the rest of Europe, North Africa and North America. During what we think of is the ‘Golden Age’ of piracy from the 1600's to the 1800's, pirates from different parts of the world would have developed ways to communicate - just not as one consistent pidgin or creole. There is some discussion in which it was suggested that modern "piratespeak" could be attributed to Robert Newton in the 1950 movie of Treasure Island. Incidentally, he was from the southwest of England, as are the pirates in The Pirates of Penzance, also a possible modern day popular source. So it's fairly plausible that modern "piratespeak" is based on the alleged "Maritime Pidgin English" spoken by pirates who hailed from that part of the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, pirates from everywhere else in the world would have been busy developing their own pidgins based on where they were from, who they traded with, who they raided, and who they took as slaves or hostages.

For many years the standard performance style of all the operettas by Gilbert and Sullivan was upheld by the D‟Oyly Carte Opera Company, who attempted to perform the operettas as they had originally been done.
