Programme Note
Synopsis:
Utopia Limited is a South Pacific Island, presided over by the kindly Paramount I. His daughter Zara is sent to England to be educated. While she is gone, Lady Sophy, an English governess, is offering the two other Princesses as models of English behaviour. Zara returns with six British ‘flowers of progress’ and tries to remake the island along English lines. Her efforts create chaos until she remembers to introduce the reform of government by party, making Utopia a limited monarchy. All ends happily.
