Welcome on board HMS Pinafore, flagship of Her Majesty’s Royal Navy - the perfect place to mock such stalwart institutions as Government, patriotism and even the Great British Class system! No wonder Queen Victoria said of the original production in 1878: “We are NOT amused!” Josephine, the captain’s daughter, is in love with Ralph, a common sailor. But her social-climbing father insists that she is to marry Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty – whose roving eye has already noticed her. The young lovers are caught as they elope from the ship and Ralph is locked in the ship’s dungeon. Can revelations made by Buttercup, the dockside vendor, enable everyone to marry their true hearts’ loves? Full to the gunwales with sharp dialogue and catchy tunes, this timeless comic opera is performed outdoors by a cast of 6 outstanding performers on a spectacular nautical set, using Sullivan’s full score.

Falstaff is skint. Dismissing his band of reprobate followers is insufficient to shore up his finances. So he decides to seduce the wives of two merchants in the hope of relieving them of some of their wealth. Mistress Page and Mistress Ford are best friends who keep no secrets from one another - so when they receive identical love letters from Falstaff the outraged women vow to share revenge. But Falstaff, led by an organ that isn’t his brain, endures humiliation, terror, even physical pain in his repeated amorous pursuits. What can the merry wives do to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget? Performed in the great outdoors by five phenomenal actors, this fast-paced production has been created using only the First Folio text - the most authoritative edition of Shakespeare’s plays. Join the sensational international-award-winning Illyria this summer for a night of laughter and hijinks under the stars.
