About the ShowGilbert and Sullivan’s classic romantic comedy reimagined for a modern age.
A tale of forbidden love set amongst the intrigue of high society in modern day Japan. A delightfully funny and satirical look at power dynamics, relationships, and the transcendence of love. In The NewsBy Naomi Degabriele (Account required to read)
Richmond Players has assembled a large and boisterous cast for this showcase of colourful characters, extreme plot twists, high farce and broad comedy Director Nicholas Noel has also brought the show's overall setting away from its original colonial perspective of the 'exotic orient' to reflect a more open and universal appreciation of human foibles and failings. Wandering hapless amongst it all are a pair of young lovers negotiating social restrictions (including capital punishment for flirting) and relentlessly circular bureaucracy (such as the public executioner required first to decapitate himself) A Sneak PeekPhotos: Jo Dentrinos
