got to wear my kilt all weekend

**grizzbass** · 17th August 10, 11:55 PM

I am doing a gilbert and sullivan show in september and the producer had organized a saturday/sunday wild west fesitval at his apple farm. To promote the show the cast came and sing pieces from the show. (Productions of G and S was very popular in the victorian era west)
While there are no specifically scottish characters in G and S (what a shame)the pirate king in the original production did wear a white skirt so amid all the holsters, chaps and spirs I sat (and sang) in my kilt.
Later this year I have a production of magic flute and the producer wants me to wear my kilt as part of my costume. Can life get beter than to be paid to wear your kilt.

Doesn't that make them work clothes, or uniform? Wouldn't that also make them tax deductible?

the above statement does not come from a tax consultant. relying on my information in regards to taxation is just silly.

Defiitely a shame that G&S had no Scottish characters!

But there is nothing to prevent a costume adaptation - a few years ago the English National Opera did a production of The Mikado in 1930s British costumes under the direction of Jonathan Miller with Eric Idle (Of Monty Python fame) as Ko-Ko and Lesley Garrett as Yum-Yum.
