In this fabulous show, W.S. Gilbert is at the very top of his game, adapting his usual patter songs, comedy duets and tongue-twisting dialogue to reflect the darker atmosphere of deception and intrigue within the sombre walls of the Tower of London. All this is mingled with Arthur Sullivan’s most impressive music to guarantee you an evening of pure theatrical magic.
The Yeomen of the Guard is a story of high drama and romance. Amidst the colourful pageantry and splendour of the Tower of London we find a collection of fascinating characters whose situations will enthral and intrigue you. Gilbert and Sullivan both considered this to be the best of their joint works. Who are we to disagree?
