An excellent production from the Brent Walker G & S series of the early 1980s. A lot of trouble has been taken with costume and design (the lovesick maidens appear to have stepped straight out of a Burn-Jones canvas) and the singing is uniformly excellent.
There are a few omissions in the dialogue, but there is still a watchable musical left.
