On the night of Oscar Wilde’s arrest for indecency in 1895, hundreds of English men boarded the ferry to Calais, France, racing to escape an expected government crackdown on homosexuals.  "Night Passage" by Robert Moran is a compelling and emotional music theater work that tells the stories of these men.  This semi-staged performance will illuminate a little-known piece of history that still resonates today.
                                             Keeping with our British theme, the program also features tuneful English folksongs arranged by Benjamin Britten and—as only the BGMC can do it—our very special Gay Person’s Guide to Gilbert and Sullivan. This is definitely not your father’s H.M.S. Pinafore!
