Summer Vacation
"Wetmarsh College" is a rollicking musical satire on Oxbridge life and its outdated chauvinistic ways. When a fellowship falls vacant at Wetmarsh College and the best candidate is a woman, will the fellows overcome their age-old prejudices to appoint her? Will Cooper, a philosophy student, succeed in his plan to blow up the college, and why is he so unhappy anyway? And does love really conquer all? Mark Wainwright's dazzlingly witty libretto is set to music by Roland Anderson in a sparkling classical pastiche, full of melodies Mozart would be proud of.
