A Theatre of Our Own (2013)
In November 2013, we imagined what it might have been like to witness, in the 1840s, a rehearsal for Dion Boucicault's highly popular comedy, London Assurance.
With songs by Gilbert & Sullivan.

Audiences experienced musical melodrama as it was performed by the Officers of the Garrison when London was a frontier town.
The Miller and His MenAn old miller's beautiful daughter is pursued by two suitors: one aging, but rich; another young but poor. To win her hand, the young man makes a secret pledge: to rid the land of the robbers, and restore the fortunes of the old miller. Little does he know but someone has darker plans for them all. Cheer the heroes! Boo the villains!
