The Society's 8th production of "The Gondoliers". Six of the principals reprised their roles from the previous production in 2007. Obviously none of them have aged one bit!
Take a look at our previous productions of "Gondoliers".
This year we were delighted to welcome Helen Fox who is making her debut (for us) as producer. She is no stranger to Gilbert & Sullivan having performed with us from 2007 to 2009, including playing Casilda in our previous production of "The Gondoliers in 2007.
For this production, we ran a poster design competition. The two winning illustrations were combined to produce both the front cover of our program and the posters.
The very first production of "The Gondoliers" was on the 7th December 1889 at the Savoy Theatre. It ran for 554 performances, closing on 20th June 1891. Interestingly, "The Mikado", "Patience" and "HMS Pinafore" all had longer first runs.
