About the Show<\/h1>\n

The Yeomen of the Guard<\/em> has everything you might expect from a Gilbert and Sullivan show: unrequited love, mistaken identity, and a secret marriage. But much like a strolling jester trying to appease an unappreciative audience, under a fa\u00e7ade of light-heartedness and whimsy lies something more clever and more tragic.<\/p>\n

Colonel Fairfax is under sentence of death for false accusations of sorcery, but he doesn\u2019t seem to mind. His main priority is to marry a maiden \u2013 any maiden \u2013 so that his estate will not fall into the hands of the cousin who framed him. When entertainers Elsie Maynard and Jack Point arrive in town, Point is happy to consent to Elsie\u2019s marriage to the Colonel in exchange for 100 crowns and the assurance of Fairfax\u2019s imminent execution. But when Sergeant Meryll and his children help Fairfax to escape, Elsie and Point realise they have stumbled onto a path from which there may be no turning back.<\/p>\n

Widely considered to be the darkest and most emotionally engaging of the Savoy Operas, Yeomen<\/i> offers a glimpse into bloodthirsty Tudor London where for once, even in the fantasy world of light operettas, everything might not be alright in the end…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
