Charles Court Opera H.M.S. Pinafore, by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan Wednesday 17th November - Wednesday 8th December
Now landsmen all, whoever you may be, If you want to rise to the top of the tree, If your soul isnt fettered to an office stool, Be careful to be guided by this golden rule - Stick close to your desks and never go to sea, And you all may be Ruler of the Queens Navee! Join little Buttercup in a cast of 9 all-singing all-dancing sailors on board the pride of Her Majestys Navy, the H.M.S Pinafore. Can the humble but handsome Able Seaman Ralph Rackstraw win the hand of lofty Josephine? Will Captain Corcoran ever realise his love for the poor bumboat woman? Will Dick Deadeye succeed in foiling their plans? Batten down the hatches as Charles Court Opera offer a fast and witty production of Gilbert & Sullivans exquisite satire on class and naval incompetence. Following a critically acclaimed run at the Rosemary Branch Theatre, Islington, this innovative and fearless young company, well known for their pint-sized opera at the Rosie, transfers to the King's Head ahead of their Christmas pantomime at the Rosemary Branch. Accompanied by Wigmore Hall artists, the Eaton-Young piano duo, with a cast of young singers, headed by Simon Masterton-Smith.
