Filled with mirth and silliness, this gentle
satire builds upon the theme of love between members of
different social classes. The Captain of the Pinafore does not
know that his daughter has fallen in love with a common sailor
serving on his ship. Meanwhile, he has arranged for her to
marry the First Lord of the Admiralty, who himself has risen
from humble beginnings to gain his office by political acumen,
despite never having gone to sea! And the Captain himself
fancies a poor burnboat woman. Fear not: it all works out in
the
end.
