A YOUNGER THEATRE

​

Following the phenomenon which was Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake, another thrilling all-male version of a much-loved classic… Sasha Regan returns with one of the most popular G&S operas, following her hugely successful award-winning all-male production The Pirates of Penzance at Cate Blanchett’s Sydney Theatre and  UK Tour

​

Set in the hold of a WW11 ship, the setting allows the cast of 16 to switch between burly sailors, in the working underbelly of the vessel, to lady visitors. A playful, innovative and heartfelt production.

​

A simple set with a beautiful costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight have allowed maximum scope for inventive playing by the cast, whereby physicality and voice is key to telling the story.

​

One of the most popular G&S operas, dealing with the age old conundrum of love between social classes, Pinafore has infectious tunes and a beautifully constructed libretto, a perfect match for this creative teams inimitable style.

 

  

Hysterically funny and highly effective.

G&S’s score is irresistibly delightful and utterly timeless. Performed with joy and enthusiasm. 

It is so rare to see such a timeless production staged with such love and care.
