Event Details
A retake of The Gondoliers by Gilbert & Sullivan, Sydney composer George Palmer has set the famous work in a modern-day travel agency. Gondoliers (actually delivery boys) Marco and Giuseppe must marry someone quickly otherwise they will be deported: they have been living in Italy on temporary visas for 20 years! So, they flip a coin between Tessa and Gianetta. The workers are transported into the magical world of Venice, and the girls are serenaded by the romantic gondoliers as they row they boats (actually office chairs).
Full of humour, romance and good old fashioned fun!
