One of Gilbert & Sullivan’s best known and most celebrated works, the Mikado is a light-hearted comedy set in the fictional town of Titipu, Japan.

The wandering minstrel son of the Mikado falls for and flirts with a girl who is engaged to her guardian Ko-Ko. Unfortunately the Mikado has decreed that flirting is punishable by death and Ko-Ko, who has been appointed Lord High Executioner, must find someone to execute before the Mikado’s forthcoming visit! Throw a corrupt public official into the mix and confusion and deceit abound.

Come along to find out what happens and enjoy some wonderful singing and a hilarious plot, which is suitable for all the family.

7.30pm  daily with a 2.30pm matinee on Saturday.

Tickets: £14, students and children £10; Tuesday evening £12; Saturday matinee £10.
