Dore Gilbert & Sullivan Society

Dore G&S return to the topsy-turvy world of Gilbert and Sullivan and an excursion to Venice for their 2015 production of The Gondoliers.

On her arrival in Venice, the bride of the heir to the throne of Barataria is confused to find that he cannot be identified due to a mix up in childhood with the son of a drunken Gondolier. To complicate things further the King of Barataria has just been assassinated so both Gondoliers must rule jointly until the rightful prince can be identified by his nurse. To make matters worse, both Gondoliers have recently married so one of them is an accidental bigamist. The final complication is the fact that the young queen is in love with another man.

Come and join us in 19th century Venice to find out how it all ends!
