Set in 1950s New York, Guys and Dolls follows gambler Sky Masterson in his plight to win the heart of Sergeant Sarah Brown from the Save A Soul Mission: is it only for a bet or has he really fallen in love?
His opponent Nathan Detroit (who is desperate to find a spot for his famous dice game) has been engaged to Adelaide for 14 years – the cause of her chronic cold. So, will Sarah ever curb Sky’s gambling and will Adelaide ever pin down Nathan?
