About

Join a company of villainous bandits as they attempt to pull off their greatest heist yet - robbing a wealthy Prince of his riches. But, in a society where inequality runs rampant are we sure we know who the true villains are? 

Having been captured by the bandits, Fragoletto, a young farmer, quickly falls in love with the daughter of the group's leader. To prove himself he becomes part of the conspiracy to rob the Prince of Mantua of his riches by kidnapping his wife. Things quickly go awry and it's up to Fragoletto to set things right. 

This production of Offenbach's comic operetta has been translated into English by W.S. Gilbert. This translation ably maintains the humor and gravitas of the original French setting.
