Cox & Box 1866: Cox is an apprentice hatter who works by day and Box is a printer who works by night. The two unknowingly share the same rented room, hoodwinked by their thrifty landlady Mrs Bouncer. Sir Arthur Sullivan's one act comic opera is reinvented with a brand new second act: Mrs Bouncer's Legacy 2016: A recently elected government has repatriated all migrant workers. Twin sisters, Urszula and Krystyna are secretly sharing a room - the very same one - in a run-down B&B where their landlord is a member of the UZIP party. A cross-dressed Victorian romp gives way to a thoroughly modern take on Gilbert & Sullivan inspired political satire, wrapped up with a heart-warming happy ending. You simply won't be able to stop yourself singing Fetch a Pan or Yorkshire is So Beautiful.
