Mikado- Illyria

THE MIKADO By Gilbert and Sullivan – Illyria will be performed at Sterts Theatre on Friday 4th August at 7.30 pm

In 2011 Illyria raised the bar for the major UK open-air touring theatre companies by becoming the first and only one to add Operetta to its regular season.

In the town of Titipu flirting has been made illegal. The penalty, by order of The Mikado, is death. Too bad then that the main culprit is the Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko, who wishes to marry his beautiful young ward Yum-Yum, and who has no intention of executing himself. Can the itinerant musician Nanki-Poo be persuaded to be executed in his place? Can Pooh-Bah, the man who occupies every role in public office, be persuaded to take advantage of his influential access to himself as Archbishop to bend his own ear as Lord Chief Justice? And what would happen if anyone should dare to tell the Mikado that an execution had taken place when in fact it hadn’t…?
