The Pirates of Penzance is also known as "The Slave of Duty". For the full synopsis, please click here. Cox, whom we meet first, is a hatter who, like most other people, works by day and sleeps by night. He has "digs" with Bouncer, who is not only a crashing bore about his army service, but as crafty and grasping as a landlord as ever charged "extra for cruet". Living in the same house as Cox is Box, who, poor chap, is a printer on a morning newspaper; he works by night and sleeps by day. Now Cox and Box have never met - never dreamed, in fact, that they share the same room, and, not to put too fine a point on it, the same bed! But today comes the great revelation. Cox gets a day off from work and comes back to his room, to Box's bacon grilling on the fire and to a first-class row which you are now about to witness. |
