Following their hit run of Iolanthe last February, the University of York Gilbert and Sullivan Society return to the stage with a classic production of The Yeomen of the Guard, transporting audiences back to the 16th-century Tower of London during the tumultuous reign of Henry VIII.

As one of the duo’s more rarely performed gems, this production masterfully balances dark comedy with a deeply moving narrative. Featuring what is widely considered to be one of Sullivan’s finest musical scores, the show explores poignant themes of unrequited love and alienation against a backdrop of historic intrigue.

It is a must-see for those who appreciate soaring melodies and a more dramatic twist on the traditional G&S style.
