Illyria

Rotary in Berkhamsted is delighted to present the fabulous Ilyria Company, performing Gilbert and Sullivan's classic comic operetta The Mikado. To remind us all, Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado of Japan, fled his father's imperial court to escape marriage to an elderly lady. Disguised as a travelling musician he met and fell in love with Yum-Yum in Titipu.

However, she was already betrothed to her guardian, and Nanki- Poo left Titipu in despair. Suffice it to say it all works out well in the end, but not before we've been hilariously entertained throughout the plot by the superb Ilyria team!

Welcome to this performance in the historic Castle grounds - a wonderful location for this event, and your picnic.
