Stephen Joseph Theatre Company

Adapted, with a sequel, by Chris Monks and Richard Atkinson.

Cox and Box
1866: Cox is an apprentice hatter who works by day and Box is a printer who works by night. The two unknowingly share the same rented room, hoodwinked by their thrifty landlady Mrs Bouncer.

Mrs Bouncer's Legacy
2016: A recently elected government has repatriated all migrant workers. Twin sisters, Urszula and Krystyna are secretly sharing a room - the very same one - in a run-down B&B where their landlord is a member of the UZIP party.

A cross-dressed Victorian romp gives way to a thoroughly modern take on G&S inspired political satire, wrapped up with a heart-warming happy ending.
