Iolanthe at the Minack Theatre
Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe brings its blend of fairy-tale whimsy and sharp political satire to the Minack Theatre on the evening of Monday 14 September, with the curtain up at 7:30 pm. The story follows a band of immortal fairies whose meddling in the House of Lords leads to delightful chaos — witty, tuneful, and performed in one of the most striking natural settings in Britain. The Minack's open clifftop stage at Porthcurno makes an extraordinary backdrop for any production, and an evening performance adds the Atlantic horizon to the spectacle. Bring a warm layer — September evenings on the cliff can be brisk — and arrive in good time to find your seat in the terraced stone auditorium.
