Sir Arthur Sullivan's one act comic opera is reinvented with a brand new second act.

Act 1: Cox & Box. By Sir Arthur Sullivan and F.C. Burnand

1866. Cox is an apprentice hatter who works by day, and Box, a printer who works by night. Under the swift broom of landlady Mrs Bouncer, the two unknowingly share the same room...but that's not all they have in common. Tempers flare and it's not long before the guns come out.

Act 2: Boks & Cocks. By Chris Monks and Richard Atkinson

2016. A recently elected government has repatriated all migrant workers. Twin sisters Urszula and Krystyna are secretly sharing a room in a rundown B&B and it's only a matter of time before their unscrupulous landlord Bob Narks finds out. But further outrageous revelations (and livestock) are set to come out of the woodwork.

A musical play about deception, international relations and chickens.
