Imagine a little town in which the Jokers become the Kings! In W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s final topsy-turvy ace of diamonds, “The Grand Duke,” we see just that! It’s 1750 in the tiny German town of Pfennig-Halbpfennig, and Grand Duke Rudolph is so stingy that a local troupe of actors have conspired to overthrow him. Unfortunately, they choose the sausage roll as their secret sign, and the whole plot is given away as a result. The leading actor desperately fights a duel with cards, as statutes require, and then becomes the Grand Duke, where he gets more than he bargained for! Can the tiny kingdom survive an onslaught of actor politicians, legal ghosts, angry divas, champagne, sausage rolls, unexpected visitors, roulette and not one, not two, not three, but four brides all for the Grand Duke? Watch to see the hilarious answer and enjoy Arthur Sullivan’s most thrilling and adventurous music!
