Outside Theatre: H.M.S. Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan, performed by Illyria
Start time: 7.30pm
Set on board the warship HMS Pinafore, the opera cheerfully mocks such Great British institutions as Class, Patriotism and the Royal Navy. Josephine the captain's daughter is in love with Ralph a common sailor, but her father wants her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty. The couple is caught as they elope from the ship and Ralph is locked in the ship's dungeon. Only when certain revelations are made by Buttercup, a dockside vendor, can everyone end up freely marrying their true hearts' loves. Bring friends, family, a picnic, and low back seating or blanket to sit on. Tickets: Adults £15.00 & Children (4-16) £10, available online from the Cathedral Box Office or by phone on 01962 857275.
