...Fairfax (Noah Van Niel ’08), prisoner and falsely accused sorcerer who finds himself incarcerated in the Tower of London. While imprisoned, Fairfax manages to marry Elsie Maynard (Celia R. Maccoby ’07), a singer whose commitment is questionable: she is already engaged to a jester named Jack Point (Samuel Gale Rosen ’06). Fairfax’s rather blatant admirer, Phoebe Meryll (Jessica G.
