In 1951 Blackmore produced a novelisation of the play, published by Ward Lock. The play is set in the small coastal town of Weymouth Regis, where the annual operatic society's performance of The Mikado is taking place. The lead role is played, as always by Mrs Portal the wife of a council official. Meanwhile one of her daughters plans to elope with the captain of the yacht The Blue Goose. However when the captain falls overboard and she drifts out to sea, the lifeboat crew are called out still wearing their costumes from the performance. (en) |
