The Grand Duke

T01709201774
Gilbert and Sullivan's last collaboration and possibly their least known. Ludwig, an actor, replaces Rudolph, the miserly Grand Duke of Pfenning Halbfenning, after 'killing' Rudolph by drawing the Ace in a statutory duel! By assuming all of Rudolph's obligations, he soon find himself with far more wives, and prospective wives than he knows what to do with.

Music	Sullivan
Lyrics	Gilbert

Pocket G & S

The company have made a name for themselves with innovative small-scale productions of G&S and received great acclaim when they visited the festival in 2011 with their 'panto' Pirates of Penzance! Director David Tatnall promises an evening of chorus lines, card sharks, champagne, shoeses, gho-ests, scandal, sauce and sausage-rolls, lots of sausage-rolls.
