The Barber of Seville (or Salisbury)

Work:: The Barber of Seville (or Salisbury) (S0790207111)

The Barber of Seville has been transported to Jane Austen's England, a world of rich, eligible bachelors, feisty heroines and snobbish relations familiar from much-loved BBC costume dramas. Obsequious Doctor Bartleby has designs on his ward Rosina, but she is far more interested in the attentions of a handsome stranger (actually a womanising Count in disguise). The whole affair is stage-managed by Figaro, the barber who knows everyone's business and can fix your hair and love life with ease.
