RIAL
BY JURY The
scene is a Court of Justice, before which appears Edwin, who is
being sued for breach of promise. He apparently ran out on his
fiancé on the eve of their wedding. The learned Judge appears to be a similar kind of man, having advanced his career
through his relationship with a rich attorney's daughter, whom
he then threw over.
The wronged woman in today's case is Angelina who,
accompanied by her bridesmaids, collapses with grief when her Counsel states
the case against the plaintiff. She is comforted by the Foreman
of the Jury. On his part, Edwin pleads that his heart
is so inconstant that he would be a terrible husband for any woman.
How will the Judge find?
MS PINAFORE It is the year 2299 and Her Majesty's Space Ship
Pinafore is docked twenty miles above Portsmouth. A visit from
Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Federation, is eagerly awaited,
but all is not well.
Sir Joseph, accompanied by his cousin Hebe, has
come to court the daughter of Captain Corcoran.
However, Josephine herself is in love
with Ralph Rackstraw, a lowly shuttle deckhand,
and the pair attempt to elope with the crew's help. The twisted
Dick Deadeye has other ideas, however. Meanwhile,
the Captain has been growing very fond of Little Buttercup,
a strange mystic lady.
All these complications can only be solved by a true Gilbertian
twist.
