Lecocq's delightful operetta tells the story of Clairette, a clever and resourceful girl who finds that the man she is being forced to marry against her will turns out to be much more reliable than her original lover, the poet Ange Pitou.

Part 2 Tchaikovsky Symphony No 3. in D. BBC Manchester

by John Harding and John Burrows

"If I'd had the opportunities in life you've had, Michael, I certainly wouldn't be sitting about six months after leaving university with no job. It makes nonsense of everything. Your generation - you've had it all given you on a plate. You think you can pick and choose like the world owes you a living. When I was your age...."
with John Burrows, John Harding, Mark Wing-Davey, Denise Bryer, Timothy Bateson

The authors, John Harding and John Burrows, together with Mark Wing-Davey, re-create the original stage roles in this comedy about a boy growing up in the period from the end of the first war to the present day. Denise Bryer and Timothy Bateson join them in this production directed by Ian Cotterell.
