Talk Description
The Heritage of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Opens with an historical background then assessment and overview of G&S, a consideration of their theatrical genre. Next to look at the vast amount of social and political satire within the shows, and reasons; then to see the world-wide popularity of G&S in the 21st C and modern production values. I use a video of G&S show excerpts during my presentation.
