Written by Gilbert & Sullivan and first premiered in 1875, this hilarious one-act opera offers a comedic exploration on taking your ex to court for breaking off the engagement!
Overview
Set in a Court of Justice, as the show opens we find Angelina attempting to sue her former fiancé, Edwin, for leaving her for another woman. Over the next 45 minutes we watch as the court proceeds with a ‘trial by jury’ to decide how the situation should be resolved.
Entry information
Doors will open at 6pm when there will be a bar open serving wine, beer and soft drinks. We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before the performance to avoid queues at security. Please bring photo identification with you.
