Singapore 1942. Glamorous society girl Gwendoline finds herself at the Raffles Hotel with her latest husband - whom she married in a hurry after running up a large hotel bill in Bombay. But when she bumps into her former husband Ian, a dashing major with the Royal Engineers, she begins to wonder if she was a little hasty in divorcing him. Meanwhile, Brigadier Percy is also pursuing her - now his wife has been evacuated. And to top it all off, Japanese troops are approaching and room service keeps running out of champagne... Unperformed since its 1975 Royal Shakespeare Company premiere, Jingo is a hilarious exploration of relationships and patriotism, set among the privileged expatriate community of Malaya in the days before the largest British surrender of the Second World War. Approx. 1 hour 45 minutes
