Magic Reversals bubbles with intrigue. The male characters (in dresses) conspire to use its
plot to illegally profit from the sale of land in Regina for Saskatchewan's Legislative Building.
The female characters (costumed as male authority figures) use the operetta to advance the cause
of women's suffrage.
