Trial by Jury

by Gilbert & Sullivan

A poster for OTYC's production of "Trial by Jury".

Trial by Jury, Gilbert & Sullivan’s first opera, is a one-act comic operetta featuring the absurdity, humor, witty wordplay and singable tunes the team would become famous for with later collaborations like H.M.S. Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance. The story takes place in a courtroom during a “breach of a promise of marriage” lawsuit, and lightly satirizes the legal system and its leading players. OTYC puts on this campy classic with a queer spin and a deliciously fun 1920s setting.
