Upwell theatre group to perform operetta ‘The Yeoman of the Guard’

The Yeomen of the Guard will be performed by Upwell Gilbert and Sullivan Society next month.

Ann Allen, of the group, said: “This is possibly the closest of the G&S shows to real opera and is not produced very often because it requires a larger quantity of male soloists and chorus.

“It is a more dramatic show than the usual comic operettas, and although there is some of the usual comedy, intrigue and Sullivan’s wonderful music, it builds to a memorable dramatic finale.”

The performances will take place from 7.30pm on Thursday 14, Friday 15 and Saturday 16 April at St Andrews Methodist Church, Outwell.

Tickets; £7 for adults and £4 for children, can be purchased by calling Peter and Linda Calver 01945 773070.
