H.M.S. Pinafore in Concert
South Vancouver Island
Sat. March 24th, 2012 – Sun. April 1st, 2012
This coming season the Victoria Gilbert and Sullivan Society and Victoria Civic Orchestra will tackle a concert version of H.M.S Pinafore, once again helmed by George Corwin. Pinafore, subtitled The Lass that Loved a Sailor, tells the tale of the beautiful Captain’s daughter who is betrothed to Sir Joseph Porter but is in love with the lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw. This tortured love story is soon turned around in Gilbert and Sullivan tradition and ends in mistaken identities, silly plot twists, and hearty fun.
Pack of Lies
South Vancouver Island
Wed. March 28th, 2012 – Sun. April 1st, 2012
Do you have neighbours who are like family to you? Do your children call them Auntie and Uncle? This is the case for Barbara and Bob Jackson whose close friends, the Krogers live across the street.
The year is 1960 and the place, North-West London, England. Life could not be much better for the Jacksons and their teenage daughter, Julie, until Mr. Stewart arrives on their doorstep. Mr. Stewart is an agent of MI-5 (the British Secret Service) and he asks to use the Jacksons’ house as an observation post to try and foil a Soviet spy ring. The Jacksons are further tested when it is revealed that the suspected spies are their friends the Krogers and they are asked to set a trap. Should friends betray friends? This gripping drama tells the true story of a family faced with an impossible decision during the not so distant era of the cold war and the events of a few weeks in this quiet middle class street in Ruislip, London. Where would your loyalties lie? Come and see what happens during those tense days in November and December at the home of Barbara and Bob Jackson.
