Download or read book The Story of the Mikado Classic Reprint written by William Schwenck Gilbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The Story of the Mikado" is one of the many fantastic operettas written by renowned duo Gilbert and Sullivan. During their 25 year partnership the pair wrote 14 comic operas "The Mikado" being one of their most popular shows along with "HMS Pinafore" and "The Pirates of Penzance." "The Mikado" is a wonderful example of their brilliant playwriting skills and has been performed worldwide since its first appearance in 1885. The play is set in Japan, which allowed Gilbert to write in a highly satirical way about British institutions and politics by disguising them as Japanese constitutions. The story follows that of the young love of Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum and the troubles they face trying to be with one another. It is a highly comical play with great music that complements the witty libretto brilliantly. This version is also beautifully illustrated by Alice B. Woodward which adds a lovely appeal to the book. For those who are avidly interesting in the famous twosome or those just entering their world this is a wonderful play for both young and old; a great classic for the whole family to enjoy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a celebrated ACTOR IS FOUND MURDERED IN HIS DRESSING ROOM, all signs point to Drew's old flame. But behind the curtains nothing is what it seems and this quickly becomes his MOST puzzling case YET. Just as Drew Farthering thinks his life has calmed down some, Fleur Landis, a former girlfriend, reappears, in dire need of his help. She's married now, no longer an actress--but the lead actor in her former troupe's production of The Mikado has been murdered, and Fleur is the police's number one suspect. Drew would rather focus on his fiancée, Madeline Parker, and their upcoming wedding, but he can't leave Fleur and her family in the lurch--even if she did break his heart once. As Drew, Nick, and Madeline begin investigating, they discover more going on behind the scenes of the theater troupe than could ever have been imagined. It seems nearly everyone had a motive, and alibis are few and far between. Both the murder case and the presence of the beautiful, exotic Fleur put a heavy strain on Drew and Madeline's relationship. Will their still-young romance survive the pressure? "Deering gives us an enchanting mystery set around an England country estate in the 1930s... Rules of Murder is a wonderful, inspirational novel for those of you who love a good murder mystery."--Fresh Fiction
Download or read book W S Gilbert written by Jane W. Stedman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836-1911) was the most brilliant dramatist of Victorian England. A daring and cynical playwright, the forerunner of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, he was also a prolific journalist and humorous poet (his Bab Ballads are still widely read), and he achieved worldwide fame through his long collaboration with the composer Arthur Sullivan, a collaboration that created such classics as H. M. S. Pinafore, The Mikado, and all the other Savoy operas. Now the story of this remarkable writer's life - and of his stormy relationship with Sullivan - is here chronicled by a renowned authority on Gilbert and on the theatrical and literary scene in Victorian London. For this biography, Jane W. Stedman has returned to original sources, has interviewed survivors, and has scoured a whole variety of Victorian periodicals for reviews, and personal comment. Gilbert emerges as a much more complex and interesting figure than has previously been thought. The book is a worthy companion piece to Arthur Jacobs's recent biography Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician.
