Season

The Mikado

or

The Town of Titipu

by

Gilbert and Sullivan

The most popular Gilbert and Sullivan opera, and the most popular opera ever written. This opera has delighted audiences for more than a century. Gilbert and Sullivan at the height of their creative genius.

What the Butler Saw

by

Joe Orton

Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw was first performed in 1969. The play appalled and enraged audiences with its attacks on authority and conventional morality. Regarded by most critics as his finest and funniest play, few today, 40 years on, would share the opening night's discomfort. It's satirical bite, if anything , has only increased with time.

The Seagull

by

Anton Chekhov

Opening night of The Seagull in October 1896 at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Petersburg was a disaster. The audience nearly stopped the performance with booing and shouting. The next day Chekhov announced that he was finished with writing plays. Fortunately , he went on. Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard and The Seagull are by, most comentators, the greatest plays since Shakespeare's.
