2. Gilbert & Sullivan's Princess Ida

Welcome to Castle Adamant, where women are fabulous, men are forbidden, and comic conspiracies reign supreme. As a baby, Princess Ida was betrothed to Prince Hilarion – but the honeymoon was over before it ever started. Now all grown up, the Princess has sworn off men, opening an all-women college at the Castle in order to prove the superiority of her sex. But no moat can keep the Prince and his men from breaching these walls. It could be love. It could be war. It's definitely a castle-crashing, cross-dressing, toe-tapping laugh riot!

King Gama (Alistair Donkin) shows us his face is the worst of Nature's blunders as Cyril (Stuart Aron), Florian (Dennis Arrowsmith) and the chorus of courtiers react with disgust.

Cyril (Stuart Aron), Florian (Dennis Arrowsmith), and Hilarion (Joshua LaForce) explore the topics covered in by all-female student body at Castle Adamant.

Princess Ida (Megan Stapleton) draws her sword of steel.

Lady Blanche (Sarah L. Lee) is convinced to wink at the 'harmless' scheme devised by Melissa (Julie Allison).

Princess Ida (Megan Stapleton) is surrounded by her maiden scholars as they "rend the air with wailing" as King Hildebrand's troops breach Castle Adamant's walls.

Cyril (Stuart Aron), much the worse for drink, endanger's the disguises – and noses – of Lady Blanche (Sarah L. Lee), Hilarion (Joshua LaForce), Florian (Dennis Arrowsmith), and Melissa (Julie Allison).
