Previous Productions

Since we were formed in 1949 we have performed a G&S operetta every year, performing all but one of their 14 creations (the exception being "Thespis" for which the music was lost). Some we have performed several times, others but rarely. Grand Duke has only been performed once whilst "The Mikado" has now been done 9 times. Here's the exhaustive list. Highlighted shows link to associated cast list and photos (where available).

We have also recently launched our own YouTube Channel (Batley G&S) where we are showing a number of our more recent productions (in full). Click the Play icon below to enjoy these shows, hopefully as much as we did!

We have catalogued 75 of our 79 costumed productions. For the majority of productions before 2002 (before digital cameras came generally available) we lack photographs of the production. If anyone can help, please don't hesitate to contact us.
