ENGAGED! Or Cheviot's Choice ENGAGED! or Cheviot's Choice Based on the play by W.S. Gilbert; Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan Adapted by George Rowell and Kenneth Mobbs. (See below for 1925 American production) Performing version: This version was first performed by the Bristol Opera School 27 March, 1962. First professional production of this version at Theatre Royal, Windsor - 6 November. 1962 THE STORY (Edwardian England) (Rowell & Mobbs adaptation) This high spirited and fast moving romp, with its many unexpected twists and turns, is enhanced by the music and lyrics of Gilbert and Sullivan. Belinda, travelling to Scotland to escape marrying Major Muggeridge, is accompanied by Belvawney. On the same train travel Cheviot Hill and his uncle Symperson. Unfortunately for them the train is wrecked by Angus MacAlister, who makes a habit of this, in order that Mrs MacFarlane and her beautiful daughter, Maggie, may cash extra money by putting the passengers up in their cottage. Because of the delay caused by the crash, Major Muggeridge catches up with Belinda, and in order to save her, Cheviot announces he is her husband, and she says she is his wife. Neither realise that, in Scottish law, just the statement of this constitutes a true marriage. Months later Belinda, still looking for the man she 'married' in Scotland, arrives at the house of Symperson's daughter, Minnie, on the day of her wedding to Cheviot. Matters are further complicated by the arrival of Maggie to whom the incorrigible Cheviot has also proposed. The problems appear insurmountable, and yet all ends happily with Angus MacAlister marrying Maggie, and a double wedding for Cheviot and Belinda, and Minnie and Belvawney.

  • W. S. Gilbert & a Classic in Humour
    W. S. GILBERT A MID-VICTORIAN ARISTOPHANES BY EDITH HAMILTON & THE ENGLISH ARISTOPHANES BY WALTER SICHEL & A CLASSIC IN HUMOUR BY MAX BEERBOHM Edited 2011 by David Trutt Los Angeles, California, USA email: [email protected] Web Site: www.haddon-hall.com 2 INTRODUCTION Included herein are two lengthy essays which seek to relate the Victorian comic playwright W. S. Gilbert to the Greek comic poet Aristophanes. Aristophanes lived from about 450 BC to 385 BC, mostly under the shadow of the Peloponnesian War between Greece and Sparta, which eventually led to the downfall of Greece. He was the most celebrated writer of what is known as Old Comedy and the only one whose plays have survived in more than fragmentary form. Aristophanes is credited with writing at least forty plays, of which eleven have survived to the present. One critic states that “Savoy opera captures some of Aristophanes’ mingling of topsy- turvy fantasy and tripping rhythm. But in sheer poetic invention Aristophanes’ lacks a real successor.” This critic considers Aristophanes a master satirist, but the two authors, Edith Hamilton and Walter Sichel make a distinction between satire and irony. They claim that the plays of Aristophanes and Gilbert were displays of masterful irony; further they claim that in this genre Gilbert is on the same high level as Aristophanes. As Sichel writes, “Both Aristophanes and Gilbert were pure ironists. Direct satire maps out the country which it invades, but irony is always on the confines of ambiguous territory. As we survey its inhabitants they seem to be in perpetual somersaults — and yet they are always standing on their feet.” AND “That is Gilbert’s irony.

Well, S/A Cole bummed it again. She noticed in the conclusion of the last Nosnense she said a lot of things would happen, barring any disasters. She should stop saying that, because, when she does, she invariably gets disasters. This summer has probably been the most busy, and the most annoying summer of her life, and she is only now starting to go through the boxes of things to put in the Nonsense. In August, every expensive thing she owned that started with a "C" broke (the computer lost its memory, the cat got sick, and the car needed a bypass operation) except her CD player (which had broken in June), and by the time they were all fixed, she broke. She started September off by getting the flu, and has only now seemed to have shaken it. But so much for excuses. We'll certainly try to do better in the future. In the meantime, she still has to go through the responses to the Big Quiz and the drawing from the returned address corrections, and there are no Iolanthe analyses this time around, but the Big Quiz answers are here, along with what has gone on in G&S lately, and what is expected to happen, plus Carol Cole's report of what took place at the Annual Outing.

  • Class, Respectability and the D'oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Arts ‘Respectable Capers’ – Class, Respectability and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909 Michael Stephen Goron Doctor of Philosophy June 2014 The Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate research Degree of the University of Winchester The word count is: 98,856 (including abstract and declarations.) THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS ‘Respectable Capers’: Class, Respectability and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909 Michael Stephen Goron This thesis will demonstrate ways in which late Victorian social and cultural attitudes influenced the development and work of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company, and the early professional production and performance of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The underlying enquiry concerns the extent to which the D’Oyly Carte Opera organisation and its work relate to an ideology, or collective mentalité, maintained and advocated by the Victorian middle- classes. The thesis will argue that a need to reflect bourgeois notions of respectability, status and gender influenced the practices of a theatrical organisation whose success depended on making large-scale musical theatre palatable to ‘respectable’ Victorians. It will examine ways in which managerial regulation of employees was imposed to contribute to both a brand image and a commercial product which matched the ethical values and tastes of the target audience. The establishment of a company performance style will be shown to have evolved from behavioural practices derived from the absorption and representation of shared cultural outlooks. The working lives and professional preoccupations of authors, managers and performers will be investigated to demonstrate how the attitudes and working lives of Savoy personnel exemplified concerns typical to many West End theatre practitioners of the period, such as the drive towards social acceptability and the recognition of theatre work as a valid professional pursuit, particularly for women.
