FANS of the melodies and witty lyrics of Gilbert and Sullivan have the opportunity to see them presented in a condensed form during a one-night entertainment at Kidderminster's Rose theatre.

The Lantern Theatre Company is staging the Complete Works of Gilbert and Sullivan on Saturday, beginning at 7.30pm.

The plot involves Lord Whittle accepting a challenge to present the entire range of Gilbert and Sullivan's works during a single evening, although he needs his butler's assistance to complete the task.

Affectionate liberties are taken, due to time constraints, but the performance is meant to appeal widely, whether or not audience members can tell their Patience from their Pinafore.

Tickets are available through the box office, on 01562 743745.
