Iolanthe (Autumn 2025)

‘Iolanthe’ – A Concert Staging of Libretto & Music

Synopsis

Strephon, an Arcadian shepherd, wants to marry Phyllis, a Ward of Chancery. Phyllis does not know that Strephon is half fairy (his upper half — his legs are mortal!) and when she sees Strephon kissing a seemingly young woman, she assumes the worst. But her “rival” turns out to be none other than Strephon’s own mother, Iolanthe, a fairy — fairies never grow old.

But Phyllis’ guardian, the Lord Chancellor, and half the peers in the House of Lords are sighing after her. Soon the peers and the fairies are virtually at war, and long friendships are nearly torn asunder. But all is happily sorted out, thanks to the “subtleties of the legal mind”

Set in the beautiful Upton House & Merley House, and full of fun and laughter, this show will lift up your spirits.

This will be our second year performing at both of these Manor Houses. Last year we staged The Mikado to near full houses, and great reviews.

Come join us this year and find your inner fairy for a night of joyous entertainment.

This is one not to miss.
