...Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most important element of education-the human connection-has not changed. The most wired students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed.

As the story isn’t known to everyone, I won’t reveal its conclusion, but suffice it to say that Gilbert and Sullivan were obviously trying to aim higher than your standard crowd-pleaser. Keeping in that tradition of classically British humor, the performers do a great job of allowing us to laugh in the face of other people’s misfortune; only the most sensitive of viewers would consider this production a tragedy...
