The Foundry Group presents: Gilbert (No Sullivan)

Tall Tales and Bonkers Ballads by W. S. Gilbert

Adapted for the stage by Mitchell and Nixon

Before writer W. S. Gilbert met composer Arthur Sullivan to form theatre's most famous partnership, he wrote stories - absurd, outrageous, hilarious stories - and wildly funny verse.

Now, for the first time, acclaimed company The Foundry Group brings three of his funniest tales and two of the best-loved comic ballads to the stage in this inventive adaptation by Mitchell and Nixon, writers of hit shows 'Those Magnificent Men' and 'Big Daddy Vs. Giant Haystacks'.

Performed with gusto by David Mounfield (‘Count Arthur Strong’s Radio Show’ R4) and Brian Mitchell (‘The Ornate Johnsons’ BBC4), ‘Gilbert (No Sullivan)’ is both the perfect night out for fans and a great introduction to one of England’s wittiest writers.
