The Yeomen of The Guard is a comic operetta by Gilbert & Sullivan known for its rich score and beautiful trios and quartets. It centers around Colonel Fairfax, who is unjustly awaiting to be executed for sorcery due to an evil cousin who wants him to die unmarried so that he may inherit his estate. Conveniently Jack Point and Elsie Maynard, a pair of strolling players, agree to let Elsie marry Fairfax for a price on the condition that she will shortly be widowed. What none of them know is that Sergeant Meryll of the Yeomen and his family are secretly plotting to help Fairfax escape by disguising him as another Yeomen, which leads to terror and chaos, new love interests, and some very awkward situations. How will all of this be resolved? Come find out!
