Well done to Weymouth Operatic Society and its production of HMS Pinafore.

A most entertaining evening with numerous witty insertions from Geoff King, the director.

Musical gags with the Titanic film tune inserted into the overture and more local fun poked at Weymouth’s unwanted traffic lights and no right turn ‘improvements’ within familiar tunes.

There were good lead vocalists in top roles and a fine young trio providing the musical accompaniment. Also on the opening night our mayor set an inspiring green example by cycling despite the lousy weather.

A great evening out.
