and it will be performed in the Queen Victoria Hall, West Street, Oundle
The Sorcerer’s plot involves an engaged couple who want everyone to be as happy as they are, and so the groom-to-be brings in a “family sorcerer” to administer a love potion to the entire village. As you might expect, the love potion works, but everyone falls in love with the wrong partner. All is made right in the end, however, as the sorcerer breaks the spell by the expedient of giving himself up to the powers of evil –– in an appropriate puff of smoke. (You will soon learn that the Gilbert and Sullivan operas do not hinge on a strongly convincing conclusion).
