Utopia, Limited

New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players presents Utopia, Limited. Not seen on the NYGASP stage in 15 years, Utopia, Limited satirizes British imperialism, politics, and the craze for modernization. Set on the fictional island of Utopia, the story follows King Paramount's decision to reform his kingdom by adopting British institutions and customs. Chaos and comedy ensue as the Utopians try to imitate Victorian ideals, exposing the absurdities of both cultures. Artistic Director James Mills directs a brand new fully staged production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s penultimate work. Contemporary playwright and critic George Bernard Shaw raved that he “enjoyed the score of Utopia more than that of any of the previous Savoy operas.”
