Following the successful performances of HMS Pinafore and Pirates of Penzance, Knaphill & St Johns Operatic Group presents Iolanthe - another G & S favourite - with dancers from Woking Dance Space.

The political party system and other institutions also come in for a dose of satire.

Iolanthe is an absurd and satirical but quite fantastic comic opera.
