A Gilbert & Sullvan Drawing Room

by Stanley German

Welcome. You, the audience, are invited to a gathering of the Rockville Victorian Society. Members of the Society (our players) are experts on all things Victorian and are G&S aficionados. They have gathered for an evening of food, converfsation and dancing which was popular during the reign of England's Queen Victoria. The women have attired themselves in costumes reflecting the m any styles prevalent during this from the 1870's to the 1890's. As the Society assembles in the drawing room, they quickly realize their guests are not completely familiar with all things Gilbert & Sullivan. Our players then start you on a journey through the engagin lives of the famous pair, using Gilbert & Sullivan's own words and music to tell the tale. From opening night to opening night, be prepared to hear the behind-the-scenes stores and events that led to the making of some of hte most famous music of all time!
