Opera or Operetta :: For shopaholics everywhere! Fast-paced and comic, The Shops tells the story of an extraordinary thief. His daring raids are interwoven with his trial and his psychological analysis. The story darkens as the terrible secret emerges of what has happened to his loot. Meanwhile a dancing chorus of shoppers melds into a meeting of Shoppers Anonymous.

Music	Edward Rushton
Lyrics	Dagny Gioulami
