SUMMARY:A Festival of WS Gilbert Plays
DESCRIPTION:One Act Wonders! In its final production for 2025\, Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Victoria offers a rare opportunity to discover a collection of four neglected one-act plays from master librettist\, W.S Gilbert across one evening’s entertainment (and two weekend matinees). \nMostly remembered today for his famous collaboration with Arthur Sullivan\, as a young barrister Gilbert found himself waiting for all too infrequent briefs and he turned to writing. Testament to his talent\, soon after\, he was earning his living as a playwright and librettist. Gilbert continued to write plays throughout his busy creative life with his last\, The Hooligan\, completed only four months before he died. \nThis collection demonstrates Gilbert’s wide-ranging interests and styles over 40 years and\, over 100 years after their creation\, hold the stage well today. Directed by a new generation\, come and enjoy: \nComedy and Tragedy – Directed by Ben Klein. An actress finds a deadly solution to her tricky romantic situation. A masterpiece of dramatic irony;\nRosencrantz and Guildenstern – Directed by Sarah Berry. In a reimagined parody of Shakespeare’s hugely popular ‘Hamlet’\, Rosencrantz and Ophelia scheme to get rid of Hamlet so they can be together;\nCreatures of Impulse – Directed by Danielle Zuccala. A fairy toys with guests at an inn for her own devious pleasure. Pure slapstick fun\, and\nThe Hooligan – Directed by Naomi Tooby. A condemned man pleads for justice. A sophisticated character study.
