    If you love The Play That Goes Wrong, British comedy & farce, then The Grand Duke is the operetta for you! This classic take on a 'play within a play' has hilarious turns & twists. It is a spirited tale of love, politics, & mistaken identity, sprinkled with Gilbert's razor-sharp wit & Sullivan's enchanting melodies.

    Without a shot being fired, confusion & hilarity reign as a troupe of actors takes political power overthrowing the government of the mean & miserly Grand Duke. Duels with weapons have been outlawed. A statutory duel has been instituted: the two disputants draw cards from a deck. The person with the higher card wins. The person with the lower card becomes a legal ghost & all his relations (including fiancées), debts, bets, & obligations pass on to the winner. After 24 hours, the "dead" man returns to life, & all will be well again, or will it?

    Three shows feature a striking, professionally-designed set, charming costumes, & professional orchestra.
