An all-male cast drop anchor and don dresses for silliness on the high seas (and higher D flats)
When preparing this hilarious sit-com with patter songs the director's predicament appears to have been something like this: an English touring company has to perform one of Arthur Sullivan's weaker operas without opera singers; with no orchestra, only a piano; without altering the dated Victorian libretto; without the usual colourful costumes; and with no women. "You see what I'm working with here?" was a rare ad-lib that escaped after a particularly risible detail of WS Gilbert's preposterously contrived libretto.
