The Convict's Opera
On a ship bound for Australia a group of convicts are ordered to put on a show set in the criminal underworld of London that they've left far behind.
Cue stormy seas (and stormy scenes), relectant cross-dressing and a musical score that combines the beautiful folk tunes of the original with the hilarious re-workings of pop classics including Sailing, 500 miles and You're so Vain.
Bursting with infamy, intrigue, fun and romance, the classic musical comedy gets a fantastic re-imagining by two of the world's foremost companies and with a talented cast of actor-musicians drawn from both ends of the earth.
