Before and alongside his partnership with Sullivan, Gilbert wrote stage plays of his own, and this first collected series gathers several. The Wicked World sends fairies to discover mortal love, Pygmalion and Galatea brings a statue to life, and Charity turns on a hidden past and a fifty-pound reward for a burial certificate, all in Gilbert’s crisp, ironic style.
A chance to meet Gilbert the dramatist on his own, as sharp as in the Savoy operas. Download the free EPUB.
