Gilbert & Sullivan & So Much More

Directed by Mike Leigh

Produced by Thin Man Films, The Greenlight Fund

A vibrant, visually sumptuous biographical comedy-drama celebrating the creative partnership and personal tensions between Gilbert and Sullivan as they craft theatrical magic in Victorian London.

For nearly a decade, Gilbert and Sullivan’s collaborations have delighted the English people. But in 1884, as a London heat wave cuts into the theater trade, their latest work, "Princess Ida", receives lukewarm press. In an effort to reconcile their creative differences and drawing inspiration from Japanese culture, they went on to create the hit opera "The Mikado", one of the duo's greatest successes.
