A world of magic, wonder, and fairies is not so far from our own, as young Strephon knows all too well. Aided by his band of immortal fairies, including his mother Iolanthe, Strephon attempts to woo the beautiful Phyllis, but the influential Lord Chancellor has other ideas. A series of mishaps and miscommunication leads the young shepherd boy into the British peerage. Can he win back his love’s affection from his new lofty position? Can fairies and peers co-exist peacefully? And, what’s the deal with all those funny looking outfits? Featuring some of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most memorable tunes, including “When Britain Ruled the Waves” and “Loudly Let the Trumpets Bray.”
