Celebrating 140 years of The Mikado

"Literary merit meets with proper recognition"

In order to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the first night of The Mikado, we will have an invited cast,   including three of our Vice Presidents,  reading and semi-staging Tony Joseph's play 'Licence Withdrawn'.  This includes some musical items from the opera accompanied by Tim Smith.

This will be proceeded with an illustrated talk by Vincent Daniels who will be joined by Nick Dobson and Leon Berger.  The presentation will focus on the background to the play which is set in 1907 when The Mikado was banned for fear of upsetting Japanese delegates visiting the UK on a state visit.
