The Grand Duke
Don’t play your cards right! When Ludwig gets into a statutory duel – by cards rather than weapons – he lets slip a conspiracy to bring down the mean-spirited Grand Duke. Instead, Ludwig is made Grand Duke for a day, and is to be married. And married. And married again, as several seek to take their place by his side. Of course, everything has been based on a misunderstanding, as this twisted and hilarious tale comes to a happy close.

The Pirates of Penzance
At least they’re employed. Set sail with this classic comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theatre history. On the coast of Cornwall, a band of tenderhearted pirates celebrates the coming of age of Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. Now, Frederic has vowed to devote his life to the extermination of piracy - until a ludicrous leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life! Throw in a bevy of beauties, a brash Pirate King, the delightfully stuffy Major- General Stanley and you’ve got what The New York Times calls AN ENDEARING PRODUCTION WITH HIGH MUSICAL STANDARDS AND SPIRITED PERFORMANCES.

Patience
Another celebrity couple gone bad. Patience, the sweet and vivacious village milkmaid, is the only lady in town who isn’t infatuated with the self-styled poet, Reginald Bunthorne. But she still believes it’s her duty to take Bunthorne off the market... until Archibald Grosvenor, another self-absorbed aesthete whose fatal curse is “to be madly loved at first sight by every woman” he comes across, arrives. Let the battle for public, and private, affections begin!

lolanthe
Multi-species marriages. Discuss. The fairy Iolanthe has been banished for marrying a mortal, but the Fairy Queen is convinced to grant her a pardon 25 years later and help her son unite with his love. But the girl’s guardian, the Lord Chancellor, wants her for himself, leading to an admission that unravels everyone’s plans, and a simple but powerful change in the fairy code: all fairies must marry mortals!
