The Yeomen of the Guard/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Fans' and directors' opinions are very much divided as to the niceness and/or nastiness of Point and/or Fairfax (and to some extent Elsie, and Wilfred and Phoebe).
  • Tear Jerker
  • True Art Is Angsty: This is easily the most serious of all their operas. It also got the most praise for the composer, and documentary evidence suggests that it was both Gilbert's and Sullivan's favourite of their works.
  • The Woobie: Jack Point, again.
