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 award-winning company behind hit shows 'Those Magnificent Men' and 'Big Daddy Vs. Giant Haystacks'.

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 acclaimed writing duo Mitchell & Nixon.

‘Gilbert (No Sullivan)’ is the perfect night out for dedicated ‘Savoyards’ and a great introduction for the uninitiated to one of England’s wittiest writers.
