Gilbert and Sullivan fractured
Thu, 18 Nov 2004, 08:37 amHi All, I was just wondering if anyone out there has ever successfully managed to combine the stories of several Gilbert and Sullivan shows into one, including the best known songs from those shows. The company I am involved with has done pirates, Mikado and Pinafore over the past 5 years and in the middle of next year we are doing a trilogy of them. I've combined the 3 shows together, so we'll see how it goes. I'd be interested to hear from ant of you who have tried this in the past.

We have successfully combined the plots of Pirates, Mikado and Pinafore into one show, with the various plot elements of one show affecting the plots of the other shows. The Mikado is invited to the Pinafore to witness the wedding of Sir Joseph to Josephine, however, due to a printing error on the invites he believes he is actually attending a beheading! He demands that there must be an execution. The Pirates of Penzance are not happy when they discover who they have decided to behead and decide to attack the Pinafore!
We are in the last stages of getting everything ready for next week so I'll let you all know how it goes.
