This term the Gilbert and Sulivan Society is performing “The Mikado”, directed by Eleanor Burke. The play is originally set in 1900s Japan, but here it has been exchanged for 1920s Brooklyn. I met up with the cast of Mikado for a photoshoot at Magdalene College. I always see some new locations when visiting Cambridge, and this time was no different. We had a beautiful little space in the college with a grand piano at our disposal.
Nanki-Poo loves Yum-Yum. Just one problem – she’s betrothed to Ko-Ko, the new Lord High Executioner. And Ko-Ko needs to find someone to execute, otherwise, it’s his own neck on the block. Maybe Ko-Ko and Nanki-Poo can come to some arrangement…without anyone losing their head?

You can see the show at West Road Concert Hall, 7-9th February 2019. Tickets are available from the ADC webpage.
