I went to see LopSoc's performance of Iolanthe a couple of night's ago and was pleaseantly surprised... light opera is not normally "my thing" however LopSoc were funny, charming and engaging throughout.The Gilbert and Sullivan show was a great choice for the society, enabling them to show off their hugely talented cast whilst keeping the audience in stiches of laughter.
Below I have provided a brief outline of the plot for anyone interested...
Iolanthe (a fairy) is banished from fairyland for marrying a mortal man and having his son.But what will happen when her son, Strephon, wishes to marry Phyllis, the Lord Chancellor's beautiful ward?Will the Lord Chancellor allow the marriage?Will the Queen of the Fairies pardon Iolanthe?Will Phyllis be able to decide which Peer to marry?Will there be a convenient twist to the story to give us a happy ending?The show is running until the end of this week.
For more information please check out our events page... and make sure you go and see it before it's all over!!Also... if you have any thought's on any of this or on the show itself please get in touch!!Zoe
