IOLANTHE
Banished from Fairyland because she married a mortal, the
fairy Iolanthe is the mother of Strephon, who is, of course, only half
a fairy! And Strephon is in love with a top politician’s ward! Hilarity
arises when Iolanthe sends her son into Parliament to reek havoc with
his fairy powers. This delightful operetta will send you tripping
hither and thither, from the pompous world of the Lord Chancellor,
through the Queen’s Fairy Kingdom to a world where, eventually,
everyone’s a fairy! Gilbert’s wicked mockery, combined with one of
Sullivan’s most sparkling scores, makes this eternally popular piece of
musical comedy a production not to be missed.

RADIO TIMES
It’s
the height of the Blitz, and the BBC’s comedy show “Radio Times” is
being broadcast from the stage of London’s Criterion Theatre (the one
that’s built deep underground). The sketches and the songs (like “Hey
Little Hen”, “Ali Baba’s Camel”, “Let the People Sing” and “The Fleet’s
in Port Again”) may be cheerful, but coping with the BBC Censor,
temperamental performers and falling bombs is quite an undertaking.
This delightful piece of nostalgic fun features many well known songs
from the composer Noel Gay.
