Colonel Fairfax is doomed to execution on a false charge of sorcery. To avoid leaving his estate to his cousin and accuser\, he secretly marries a strolling player Elsie Maynard. 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.
