EdFringe Review #20: Trial By Jury

★★★★☆ - Spritely

Cat-Like Tread presents a spritely rendition of Gilbert & Sullivan’s one-act comic opera, Trial by Jury that entirely fulfils its brief: light, fun, and more than a little ridiculous.

An early collaboration between the now-legendary composer and librettist, Trial by Jury sets up some of the elements that will become synonymous with Gilbert & Sullivan works: an absurd plot treated seriously by its inhabitants, satire on both the types of people its characters represent and a bit on opera itself, and cramming an incredible number of words into its songs.
