The Mikado

By Sasha Regan & Regan De Wynter Williams Productions.

Following the highly successful all-male tours of HMS Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance, Sasha Regan returns with the irresistible The Mikado – one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most famous operettas, re-invented with an all-male casting.

In true topsy–turvy fashion, Gilbert and Sullivan’s inherent humour and timeless tunefulness are married with Regan’s wicked sense of fun. This vibrant production successfully pokes playful fun at British politics and institutions.

The crazy storyline takes us to 1950s England where a school camping trip is visiting the far away land of Titipu – a place where flirting is banned on pain of death and where tailors can become Lord High Executioners but cannot cut off another’s head, until they have cut off their own!

Regan’s idea to transform these much-loved classics into all-male productions stems from her own experiences performing Gilbert and Sullivan at a single-sex school. Her shows are renowned for playing on the humour it creates.

Regan comments, “Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing our work playing in some of the most beautiful theatres our country has to offer. It’s going to be a great year for us as we bring a brand new staging to our audiences – it’s beyond exciting.”

Sasha was recently awarded the Special Achievement Award at the Off West End Awards for her contribution to musical theatre.
