WORCESTER Gilbert & Sullivan Society present The Gondoliers at Ledbury's Market Theatre from today until Saturday.

A treat for the whole family, The Gondoliers is set in the picturesque city of Venice where two gondoliers are plying their trade – however, one of them may not be what they seem and all manner of confusions arise.

Mary, Queen of Floods (otherwise known as Mary Dhonau) is playing the Duchess, a most formidable character. Mary says “The show is so much fun with gondolas, mistaken identities and amazing costumes. I am excited to be playing such a redoubtable lady but also to be able to bring in hints of my own work highlighting the risks of flooding – rather a good fit with the setting of Venice.”

The Gondoliers runs today, tomorrow and Saturday at 7.30pm, with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30pm. To book, visit themarketheatre.com or call 07967 517125
