About the Show

Surreal comedy meets frightful chiller in this unique production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s classic.

Directed by Peter Benedict, expect all the G&S elements you've come to know: timeless music, cheeky social commentary, comic pathos, and people singing quicker than you’d think humanly possible - but with a seasoning of sinister spectres.

A family curse means a baronet must commit a daily crime or perish. Trying to escape his fate, he meets dancing sailors, a group of frustrated bridesmaids, and a chorus of ghosts.

In this creative production, audiences will see plenty of hilarious and spine-tingling moments.

Whether you’re a G&S aficionado or a total beginner, missing this smile-inducing night out might haunt you.”
