Guys and Dolls

Following the widely acclaimed productions of Fiddler on the Roof (2025) and Into the Woods (2024), Eglesfield Musical Society return this summer with the high-class entertainment of Guys & Dolls!

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys & Dolls follows the story of gambler Nathan Detroit who tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town. With the authorities breathing down his neck, his girlfriend and nightclub performer Adelaide laments that they’ve been engaged (yet unmarried!) for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky is already preoccupied, chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown.

Guys & Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

We are so excited to present this entirely-led student production in the glorious arcadian gardens of The Queen’s College, featuring a cast and crew from across several different colleges at the University of Oxford.

Please note that this is an outdoor event, so do bring weather-appropriate clothing. The Queen’s College is wheelchair accessible, although it is an historic site with uneven surfaces. If you have any accessibility requirements, please get in touch with us at contact@eglesfieldmusic.org and thomas.constantinou@queens.ox.ac.uk.
