...current contest between ideologies for the minds of men has done us, too, a signal, if unexpected, service. It has cast in sharp relief what we have and support, against the backdrop of the terrible tyranny of totalitarian governments and their ruthless domination over the lives of human beings. In defending the ways of a free people we have been forced to compare our systems, so that all who are able to learn may make a choice...

There seem to be a good number of people standing around with their hands in their pockets, but as long as the singing remains of the same quality, the cast could stand on its head if it wished. For those who prefer G & S in the grand manner, the stage may be too simple and the acting underdeveloped. But for those who like pure G & S without ornamental trappings, the production is much superior for its unconcern with frills...
