Come and see our spectacular winter show!
Deceit and Disguise will be a spectacular performance of comic musical scenes connected through the themes of hiding and concealing. We will be exploring confused identity, heartbreak, deception and hilarity, which we so often see as the opening topic in G&S and beyond. This smart and snappy show will be a treat for the senses, consisting of of classic G&S numbers from Pirates, Pinafore and Iolanthe to Musical theatre – ABBA, Guys and Dolls, Cabaret, not to mention a couple of pieces by of Mozzart to Kander and Ebb!
