Jack Point also loves Elsie but agrees to the marriage knowing his rival will be dead within hours. But Fairfax escapes\, and chaos ensues. \nGenerally considered to be Sullivan’s finest score\, this brand-new production of The Yeomen of the Guard is directed by Simon Butteriss who also stars as heartbroken Jack Point.

But which one? \nNobody knows\, so they both must go to Barataria and reign jointly. And to complicate matters\, the King was married when he was a baby to Casilda\, the beautiful daughter of the Duke of Plaza Toro\, so it seems he might also be an unintentional bigamist too! \nBeautiful music\, including the delightful Dance a cachucha and Take a pair of sparkling eyes.
