MUTINY! Musical; libretto by Richard Crane; Music by David Essex Piccadilly Theatre, London 22 July, 1985. (526 perfs) SYNOPSIS Based on the novel “Mutiny on the Bounty”, this was the story of Captain Bligh commanding HMS Bounty. Repelled by his cruelty, and attracted to the idyllic life they had observed on the Pacific island of Tahiti, 18 crewmen headed by Fletcher Christian staged a mutiny.
