Our Current Production

In 2025, the Worcester Gilbert and Sullivan Society will present a magical and whimsical performance of Iolanthe, one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most cherished comic operas. Set in the fantastical world where fairies and British politicians collide, this production promises to deliver the trademark blend of sharp wit, vibrant music, and light-hearted satire that the duo is famous for.

The story centres around Iolanthe, a fairy who has been banished from fairyland for marrying a mortal, and her son Strephon, a half-fairy, who falls in love with Phyllis, a mortal woman. The play humorously explores themes of love, class, and political satire as Strephon's love for Phyllis becomes entangled in a series of complicated and often ridiculous bureaucratic hurdles involving the House of Lords and their fairytale counterparts.

 The Norbury Theatre, Droitwich
