This collection, 'Original Plays,' brings together a selection of works by W.S. Gilbert, the famed librettist of the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas. Included are such beloved works as 'H.M.S. Pinafore; Or, the Lass That Loved a Sailor' and 'The Pirates of Penzance; Or, the Slave of Duty,' alongside lesser-known but equally engaging plays.
