Synopsis
The Yeomen of the Guard is a beautiful operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan set in the The Tower of London during the reign of Henry VIII. It follows the story of Colonel Fairfax, wrongly imprisoned for sorcery, who is sentenced to death. His loyal Yeomen, Jack Point and a troupe of colourful characters, including the beautiful and resourceful Phoebe, become embroiled in a web of mistaken identities, love and deception. As Fairfax’s fate hangs in the balance, romantic entanglements and a twist of fate ultimately lead to his release. The Operetta blends humour with moments of pathos, offering both intrigue and musical delight.
