Beschreibung

The Complete Plays of Gilbert and Sullivan represents a monumental anthology that captures the fin-de-siècle brilliance of two of Victorian England's most influential theatrical luminaries. This robust collection traverses the vibrant landscape of satire, whimsy, and social commentary woven through operettas that ranged from the comedically absurd to subtly profound, each piece reflecting the unique stylistic signatures of its creators. From the delicate parody in "H.M.S. Pinafore" to the incisive humor of "The Mikado," these plays collectively explore themes of class, identity, and institutional critique, making them enduring classics in the canon of musical theatre. Arthur Sullivan and W. S. Gilbert, with their collaborative genius, revolutionized the operatic tradition by fusing its conventions with humor and accessible narratives. Drawing inspiration from the socio-political milieu of their time, the duo crafted works that not only entertained but also provided a mirror to Victorian society. Their collaboration, marked by witty librettos and memorable compositions, became a hallmark of the Savoy operas, resonating through the ages and influencing playwrights and composers alike. Each contribution to this anthology harmonizes with the others, showcasing the duo's talent for engaging a cross-cultural audience and stimulating thoughtful dialogue. This anthology invites readers to immerse themselves in the dazzling tapestry of Gilbert and Sullivan's imaginative universe. Perfect for both scholars and enthusiasts of musical theatre, it offers a deep dive into their inventive realms that challenge, entertain, and enlighten. Through this comprehensive compilation, readers can appreciate the enduring legacy of Gilbert and Sullivan's creativity and wit—a testament to their lasting impact on the arts. Engaging with these works offers not only an exploration of operatic history but a profound reflection on the enduring humor and social insights that continue to resonate today.

    On 27 December 1973 the nightmare began: late that night German businessman Thomas Niedermayer was kidnapped from his home in Belfast. Never seen alive again by his friends or family, he became one of the 'disappeared' and it seemed that no one knew what had happened to him.
His wife, Ingeborg, and his daughters, Renate and Gabriele, spent the next seven years not knowing if Thomas were alive or dead. In 1980, an IRA informant led police to recover his body. But the trauma for Thomas's family was far from over: there were further devastating consequences for all of them.
Five decades on, FACE DOWN sets out to discover what really happened in Belfast all those years ago.
Now in its second, updated edition and the subject of an IFTA nominated feature-length documentary, this astonishing story of one family's generational trauma undermines any attempt to glamorise or minimise the effects of political violence.
