Pirates of Penzance (What? There's even a song about revenge. *sings* Away, away, my heart's on fire -- I burn this base deception to repay! This very night my vengeance dire shall glut itself in gore -- away, away! ... and so on. W. S. Gilbert sure knew his way around the English language ... and he probably had to, being a former barrister and all that. Unluckily for him (and luckily for theatre), W. S. Gilbert was a very bad barrister).
