Following the huge success of HMS Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance, Sasha Regan's all-male company returns to Exeter next month with The Mikado.

Sasha Regan's All Male Company will present The Mikado, running Tue 6 - Sat 10 June 2017 at Exeter Northcott Theatre.

In true topsy -turvy fashion, Gilbert and Sullivan's inherent humour and timeless tunefulness are married with Regan's wicked sense of fun. This vibrant production successfully pokes playful fun at British politics and institutions. The crazy storyline takes us to 1950s England where a school camping trip is visiting the far away land of Titipu - a place where flirting is banned on pain of death and where tailors can become Lord High Executioners but cannot cut off another's head, until they have cut off their own!

Regan's idea to transform these much-loved classics into all-male productions stems from her own experiences performing Gilbert and Sullivan at a single-sex school. Her shows are now renowned for playing on the humour that can emerge from these gender changes.

Sasha Regan said, "Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing our work playing in some of the most beautiful theatres our country has to offer. 2017 is going to be a great year for us as we bring a brand new staging to our audiences - it's beyond exciting."

Sasha was recently awarded the Special Achievement Award at the Off West End Awards 2017 for her contribution to musical theatre.

Press night is Tues 6 June at 7.30pm. For tickets, visit www.exeternorthcott.co.uk.

Sasha Regan founded London's Union Theatre in 1998. As a director, Regan has won critical praise for a number of productions including Sweeney Todd, The Mikado, HMS Pinafore, The Pajama Game, Cabaret and Annie Get Your Gun.
