Expect all the Mikado wit and music you love, but with a Scottish twist! As one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most popular and enduring operettas,

The Mikado continues to delight audiences around the world, with its timeless satirical wit and beautiful music.

Now, in a bold new take, Eastbourne G&S has transported the well-loved tale of mistaken identity, threatened executions and mischievous little maids to Historical Scotland… 

In the Scottish town of Ballydew, flirting is a capital offense, and the bumbling tailor-turned-executioner Coco is set to marry his ward, Wynn Somme.
Trouble brews when she falls for Nanky Drew, a wandering minstrel who’s secretly the son of the fearsome McAdo. To save the town from disgrace, Nanky volunteers for execution—though Coco has no idea how to carry it out. With jealous rivals, absurd laws, and plenty of comic twists, The McAdo delivers Gilbert & Sullivan’s classic satire with a tartan twist.

Think kilts, clans, and a hearty dose of Scottish charm – all while keeping the humour, catchy tunes, and delightful satire that have made The Mikado a favourite for generations.
