This well-loved copy of “The Complete Plays of Gilbert and Sullivan” is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Victorian-era theatrical partnership between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. Their witty and satirical operettas, such as “The Pirates of Penzance” and “The Mikado,” have delighted audiences for over a century with their clever wordplay, memorable melodies, and biting social commentary. This comprehensive volume, published by the esteemed Modern Library, offers collectors and readers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the duo’s complete works, preserving these theatrical gems for future generations. Despite its well-worn exterior, a result of countless readings and performances, the book’s interior remains in remarkable condition, a true tribute to the care and reverence with which it has been handled by its previous owners.
