Gilbert & Sullivan: my version of The Plaintiff and The Learned Judge from Trial by Jury. (With and without periwig)
So – in this farcical operetta, The Plaintiff, Angelina, is suing her fiancee for breaching a Promise of Marriage agreement. The presiding judge, referred to as The Learned Judge in the libretto, far from being impartial and exhibiting proper judge behavior, immediately falls in love with Angelina and starts trying to woo her. Thing is – she’s into it. By the end of the show, the wedding’s back on, except now the groom is the Judge himself!
