It's G&S, Jim - but not as we know it...

You've probably heard or seen HMS Pinafore, Gilbert and Sullivan's rollicking comic opera set on ship-board (remember the "ruler of the Queen's Navee"?)

Well Richmond's ever-inventive Operatic Society has taken it forward a few years. About 500 years in fact... And their production is set on a starship: the USS Pinafore! The mind boggles. But if this version stays true to the original, it will lampoon the British class system and poke good-natured fun at patriotism, party politics, and the rise of unqualified people to positions of authority. 

USS Pinafore is coming to the Georgian Theatre Royal 21-25 May. You can find more information and tickets here.
