What? Enjoy Bernand and Sullivan’s one-act comic opera, first staged in 1867, in the splendour of the Victorian Club Room at 16 New Street. Sergeant Bouncer, an old soldier, has a scheme to get double rent from a single room: by day he lets it to Mr Box, a printer who is out all night; and by night to Mr Cox, a hatter who works all day. Bouncer’s plan works well…until Mr Cox is, unexpectedly, given a day’s holiday. The compact cast of three creates an intimate and amusing experience.
Ticket price includes a welcome drink on arrival. Proceeds will be shared between the National Trust for Jersey and the Jersey Gilbert and Sullivan Society.
When? Saturday 15 October – 11:00 to 13:00
Where? Bouley Bay Dive Centre
