Regan's approach to transforming classics into all-male productions stems from her own experience performing Gilbert and Sullivan at a single-sex school.

The Pirates of Penzance was initially staged in Southwark, London, where it won Best Off-West End Production before touring London and Australia.

The production will visit the Winchester stage after Regan's all-male versions of The Mikado and HMS Pinafore were performed at the theatre.

The Pirates of Penzance will be at Theatre Royal Winchester from Tuesday, October 8 to Saturday, October 12 at various times.
