Pinafore St Michael at the North Gate, 6-9 May 2009. See theatre listings, below left. It is a concert performance in a church, but the OU G&S Society put so much of the essential spirit into it, that it’s well worth seeing despite the restrictions of the narrow space and foggy acoustics. There were efficient costumes (the sailors looking very trim in white shirts with matching light blue scarves) and as much moving around as could be managed, but, obviously, no set, and accompaniment on a piano rather than an orchestra. I believe this is the fourth Gilbert and Sullivan opera, a sillier- than-usual satire on social and naval hierarchies. Young love, hypocrisy, unmerited success and a happy ending. The second act was much livelier than the first. This is partly the fault of the libretto (neither the delightful music nor the ludicrous book are as complex as in later works such as Ruddigore or the Gondoliers), but I did feel that we could have done with more of the daft choreography earlier in the show (I thought that “This should be his customary attitude” had many wasted opportunities for actions). Having said that, all the set-piece songs between principals were musically highly polished, and in the second act the choreography caught up. Their main weapon is Anna Sideris as Josephine, the Captain’s daughter. She has an exquisite voice, which won her the first spontaneous audience applause of the evening and made her big solo (“God of Love and God of Reason”) a joy to listen to. Her opposite number, Thomas Wade (the low-born but valiant Ralph Rackstraw) while he has sweet tone, definitely has trouble with the pitch of his high notes. However, his eager blond prettiness is such that one, rather unfairly, forgives him. The Musical Director, Samuel Swinnerton, who played all the accompaniment throughout without flagging, is obviously a good pianist. Unfortunately you’d have to be something of a genius to make it really enjoyable to hear the whole thing played by one person on a slightly tinny piano. He has, however, made a very good job of his other responsibilities, particularly with the chorus, who were spot on. The acoustics of this venue are a problem, especially for those unfamiliar with the piece, but great attention has obviously been paid to this, and the effect is pretty good. Huw Davies is marvellous in the small but crucial role of the sinister Dick Deadeye, and Christopher Milton ponces with entertaining conviction as Sir Joseph Porter KCB, the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee. Katherine Fairhurst (Buttercup) has a less highly- trained voice than some, but also has a delightful rich timbre and great presence. The owlish Robert Hazle is entertainingly ineffectual as Captain Corcoran, and, while soft-voiced, has a lovely sound. All in all a very spirited and technically accomplished production on a shoestring (which is reflected in the prices - only £3 for students!). Worth going; you’ll come out humming.
