A magical chance to experience one of Gilbert & Sullivan's lesser-known gems, "The Sorcerer" is sure to conjure up enjoyment for all the family!
Alexis Pointdextre, a young man of social distinction, is obsessed with the idea of love levelling all ranks, both high and low. To promote his beliefs, he invites the proprietor of J. W. Wells & Co., Family Sorcerers, to brew a love potion and distribute it throughout the village. Comedic mayhem ensues as this causes everyone to fall in love with the first person they see, resulting in the pairing of comically mismatched couples!
About the company:
Fresh from a successful centenary year in 2024, during which they were crowned international champions at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival, the Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society (EDGAS) is delighted to return to the stage with their production of "The Sorcerer". EDGAS aims to stage productions with the highest of artistic and technical values, and regularly receives glowing reviews both from critics and from its loyal and growing audience base.
Recent G&S productions of "The Pirates of Penzance", "The Yeomen of the Guard", and The Gondoliers" were exceptionally well received; they also regularly perform concerts ranging from orchestral singalongs of the operas to smaller concert party visits to a variety of venues throughout Edinburgh and across Scotland.
Age Restrictions
All children aged 15 and under must be supervised by an adult (18+), with at least one adult per 10 children. The supervising adult must sit next to the child or children they are responsible for. If a child is causing a disturbance, venue management reserves the right to ask the parent or supervisor to remove them.
Children aged 18 months to 15 years require their own ticket, which will be charged at full price unless a child concession is available at the time of booking.
Children under 3 will not be admitted to the venue unless the event is specifically advertised as suitable for under 3s at the time of booking.
Babes in arms (children under 18 months, unless stated otherwise on the event listing and ticket) will only be admitted to performances designed for them, such as pantomimes and shows that allow under 3s. Where permitted, they may attend free of charge but must sit on an adult’s lap as no separate seat will be allocated. If a performance has additional age restrictions, these will be clearly stated on the event page of our website.
