conveys a wide range of themes and concepts, both educational and entertaining.

or just go anyway for a wonderful reminder of the power of theatre and the sheer pleasure
it can bring.’ — 5***** Broadway Baby

TOPSY TURVY – the story of Gilbert & Sullivan
www.phoenixcinema.co.uk
Directed by Mike Leigh with Jim Broadbent, Alan Corduner, Dexter
Fletcher, Sukie Smith.

between W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan faltered. Sullivan had
become frustrated with Gilbert’s predictable lyrics and Gilbert
seemed to lack inspiration. Sullivan was anxious to write a
‘serious’ opera and it looked as though their partnership was at an end. Then Gilbert’s
wife suggested they visit an exhibition of Japanese life… inspiration struck and G & S
produced one of their greatest successes.
