Prepare to be bowled over as The Stephen Joseph Theatre put a new spin on Gilbert and Sullivan's masterpiece: The Mikado. Japan is swapped for the idyllic setting of Titipu Cricket Club. All Sullivan's superb melodies are there, complementing Gilbert's biting satire on capital punishment where in the end love conquers all.

For some strange reason, local klutz Koko has risen to the highest rank a citizen can attain - Lord High Executioner, and lusts after the delicious Yum-Yum. Sadly, she's firmly set her cap at the free-wheeling Nanki-Poo. But that's only half of Koko's problems: the Mikado is about to arrive and find out why there have been no executions for over a year!


"This is unquestionably the funniest version of any G&S you are ever likely to see. Possibly the funniest anything you are likely to see."
