The Mikado
Theatre At The Tabard, W4 1LW , [Venue Details]Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado bursts onto the Tabard Theatre stage transporting us to post-war Britain, where privilege, power, and pompous authority are rife and a love-struck minstrel is on the run.
Military chief The Mikado has set out that executions are mandatory; but Lord High Executioner Ko-Ko—a slippery spiv in a zoot suit—avoids carrying them out. Enter Nanki-Poo, the Mikado’s son in disguise, desperate to marry Yum-Yum, who’s unfortunately betrothed to Ko-Ko. When the Mikado demands an execution, Ko-Ko fakes one to save himself, roping in Pooh-Bah, a pompous bureaucrat, and Pish-Tush, a clueless toff. Meanwhile, the formidable Katisha arrives, determined to reclaim Nanki-Poo as her rightful fiancé.
Mistaken identities, absurd laws, and comic deception spiral abound – will there be a happy ending without a single execution!
Directed by Keith Strachan and musical direction by Annemarie Lewis Thomas, this in-house production marks a return of the Tabard Theatre’s long tradition of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. With a cast of 10, live music and a 5 week run, join us for an evening of joy, jubilation, and a jolly good time!
