Details

A rollicking adaptation of three outrageous, absurd and hilarious stories (and two Bab Ballads) by the master of 'Topsy-Turvydom' Sir W. S. Gilbert, brought lovingly to the stage by The Ornate Johnsons' David Mounfield and Brian Mitchell. Now immortalised for his partnership with composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, Gilbert was, in his own right, a renowned playwright and comic writer and a master of "Nonsense" verse. For the first time and on the 180th anniversary of his birth, three of his funniest tales and two of the best-loved Bab Ballads take the stage in this inventive new adaptation by Mitchell & Nixon, writers of the hit shows Those Magnificent Men and Big Daddy Vs. Giant Haystacks. There will be an interval and refreshments sold at the hatch.
