H.M.S. Pinafore answers the burning question of who, among equals, is the most equal, and whether love can level the ranks. In this quirky chamber version, love is celebrated as the 21st Century collides with the 19th Century in unexpected ways. The work’s humour focuses on the love between members of different social classes and pokes unashamed fun at society’s obsession with social status, patriotism, party politics, and the rise of unqualified people to positions of authority. It’s as camp as Christmas (and we don’t change a word!) and a good laugh too!
​
This new production is conceived with a reduced cast of lively men and women. The primarily young company reclaim Gilbert and Sullivan, test its boundaries and have a shipload of fun.  There are sequins, tutus, flags (lots of flags), and a moustache or two!
 
Gilbert & Sullivan are the undisputed masters of comic operetta and the proud parents of the modern musical. Ample proof of their lasting brilliance is that their works are as in demand today as they  were when they were written over a century ago.
 
So – sit back, enjoy tunes you are sure to have heard before and consider how two Edwardian gentlemen  created an operetta about society on a saucy ship named after after a lady's apron!
