The award winning Sale Gilbert and Sullivan Society are pleased to be returning to Z-arts with Iolanthe – a magical comic operetta where Fairies take on the House of Lords in a show packed with colour, witty dialogue and wonderful music.
Iolanthe, a fairy, commits the ultimate crime by marrying a mortal. Fast forward 25 years, and her half-human, half-fairy son finds himself in trouble when he wants to marry Phyllis, a ward of the Court of Chancery.
The resulting tussle between the immortal Fairies and the entitled Peers is Gilbert & Sullivan at their satirical best, poking fun at power, privilege and parliamentary democracy.
