Phyllis looks on as Strephen talks to his 'mother' Iolanthe confronts the Lord Chancellor

A contemporary outlook on this G&S Classic.

Having been sent into exile for marrying a "mortal", Iolanthe is reprieved by the Fairy Queen. However, when she reveals that she has a son, Strephon, who wants to marry a “Ward of Court”, Phyllis, it sets them on a collision course with the Lord Chancellor and the House of Lords as the “Fairy Ring” Women’s Institute implement their own form of Parliamentary reform.
