The story follows the mischief of crooked army recruiting officers, Captain Plume and Sergeant Kite, as they head to the county town of Shrewsbury to persuade men to take the Queen’s Shilling by any means, legal or otherwise!
Plume has set his cap at the richest heiress in town, the vivacious Sylvia, and their bumpy path to true love is mirrored by their closest friends, nervy, melancholy Worthy, and haughty, comically self-important Melinda. Help and hindrance come in equal measure from Captain Brazen, the foppiest of Fops.
Be prepared for saucy shenanigans in a hilarious romp awash with deceit, passion, and surprises galore! Sign up! Join the dashing Captain Plume and the devious Sergeant Kite on a rollercoaster ride in period costume for all the family.
Sterts Theatre, Friday 1st July at 7.30pm. Adults £15, under 18s £11, book online or call 01579 362382
