Announcement of next year’s main show

We are really excited to announce that next year’s main show in June 2023 will be The Grand Duke; or, the Statutory Duel, directed by the wonderful Vicky Simon.
If you’d like to join us, whether on stage or behind the scenes, take a look at our Join GLOC page – we’d love to have you join us!

Vicky has previously directed Ruddigore (2015) and Iolanthe (2017) for GLOC, to great acclaim and with much fun had by all in the process. You can check out some photos from these productions in our Gallery and some film extracts on our YouTube page.

The Grand Duke is the last of Gilbert and Sullivan’s collaborations and one of the least performed. The plot is full of wildly farcical Gilbertian humour with some wonderful, sparkling Sullivan music. We can’t wait to see what Vicky will do with it! We would absolutely love to have as many of you as possible join us on stage or behind the scenes.

Rehearsals will begin late January/early February, with auditions for principals following shortly after. As ever, there will be no auditions for chorus members – the more the merrier! Watch out for further updates, or email [email protected] to register your interest.
