"Set in 1895, in London's fashionable theater district, the plot concerns two rather bizarre murders - one of a theater critic (egad!) and the other, the ingenue for the D'Oyly Carte season of Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas. Along with Richard D'Oyly Carte, W.S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, there are appearances by other theatrical and literary luminaries of the day, such as Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, "Dracula" author Bram Stoker, and the great actors Sir Henry Irving and Dame Ellen Terry. They are all tossed into this glorious goulash of a play with such gleeful dexterity it will take your breath away. The thrill of watching skilled actors changing not only wigs and costumes, but their very silhouette, is exhilarating."
