FROM ALISON
This new production of Offenbach’s operetta transports housewife Eurydice from her Levittown-inspired domestic doldrums to a glamorous nightclub version of the underworld.
Inspired by 1960s boffo sex comedies such as A Shot in the Dark, Alfie, and The World of Henry Orient… Fans of Peter Sellers, rejoice!
