IOLANTHE<\/h2>\n

April 28 – May 13, 2017
\nBy W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
\nDirected by Kelly Reay*<\/p>\n

Love. So beautiful. So musical. So complicated. Although forbidden by fairy law, Iolanthe marries a mortal and is then banished from fairyland. Here in our human world, she bears a son; a lovely lad named Strephon, who falls head over heels and wants to marry Phyllis, who is, of course, desired by all the members of the House of Peers. When Phyllis sees Strephon embrace Iolanthe, who is ethereal and lovely, she doesn\u2019t stop for one moment to consider she might be Strephon\u2019s mother and sets in motion a musical clash between politicians and fairies, sending everyone tripping hither, tripping thither \u2013 we did mention love can be complicated \u2013 it\u2019s an energetic, satirical journey to the finale. Off and away to get your tickets! We\u2019ll see you in Spring for this, the seventh of fourteen collaborations by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
