In June 2008 we marked Ten Years of Friendly Bombs with an evening of highlights from favourite shows from the repertoire.

We performed Creation from Noah, Pyramus and Thisbe from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Allequino from Comedia dell'Arte, The Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet and The Love Triangle from Twelfth Night. We finished with some songs that we had learned accompanied by a helper on their accordion.

To mark the 10th Anniversary of Friendly Bombs we has a special gala performance. We presented some highlights from the previous shows, these were selected by members of the company. Together with this we also put together a fun version of Pirates of Penzance, based on the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta. This piece was chosen by company members.

Pirates of Penzance is the story of a group of Pirates that capture a group of young ladies on the beach in Penzance, planning to marry them. The ladies father , the Major General is also captured and becomes a pirate. The local police constabulary are on the look out for the pirates and there is a face off between the two groups, Pirates and Policemen.

We performed Pirates of Penzance at Oakbridge Day Centre and Seeleys House Opportunities and Respite Care Centre as participatory workshops.
