The Mikado

The Mikado

Archived Event

By Gilbert & Sullivan

Professional G&S company Forbear! Theatre present their fantasy reimagining of 'The Mikado’, ahead of its transfer to New York this Autumn.

A wandering minstrel agrees to die at the hands of the Lord High Executioner in exchange for one month of marriage to the love of his life. However, when he reveals his secret past to his new companions, there begins a desperate and hilarious battle to save themselves from being boiled alive.

Minimal changes have been made to the text in bringing this fantasy kingdom to life, with the same madcap characters, plot and iconic songs that have been loved for generations.

Now in their tenth year, Forbear! Theatre regularly perform in London, Hever Castle, the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival, and on tour.

Praise for previous Forbear! Theatre productions:

“Precise and vivacious” -  Sir Arthur Sullivan Society Magazine

“Hilarious and simply beautiful” - Everything Theatre
