About

Set against the political upheaval of 1660 Derbyshire, this concert production of Sullivan’s rarely performed Haddon Hall unfolds as a rehearsal within the historic estate itself, weaving together romance, history, and intrigue. At its heart is Dorothy Vernon, who risks everything for love in a world shaped by shifting allegiances, social expectations, and the performance of power. Featuring Sullivan’s charming and spirited score, this semi-staged performance offers an evening of wit, warmth, and surprising relevance—a reminder that politics has always been a kind of theater. ​
