I just hope the PC brigade don’t target the piece in the same way that they have recently pilloried THE MIKADO in the USA. It is, after all, a reflection of the attitudes in the times that it was written and should be regarded as a historical document. We may not like the attitudes that bought about its creation, but we need to accept it as a piece of art and learn from it.
