Gilbert and Sullivan wrote operas together. They collaborated for over 25 years and created a total of 14 comic operas. Sullivan's memorable melodies are matched to Gilbert's often tongue-twisting words. These operas are as popular today as they were when they were first perform over a 100 years ago. The series provides a lively interpretation of those original creations.
Phoebe Meryll is brooding over the coming execution of Colonel Fairfax. Phoebe's Father, whose life Fairfax has twice saved, has a plan for disguising Fairfax as a Yeomen to help him escape the Tower of London and death.
