Coming Winter 2027, ‘The Grand Duke, or, The Statutory Duel’!

Big news from the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Maine!

We’re beyond excited to unveil our 2027 season—and it’s something truly special. For the very first time, we’ll be bringing to life the only Gilbert and Sullivan operetta we’ve never produced before.

Behind the scenes, a troupe of actors is caught up in a secret plot to overthrow their ruler. A misplaced word leads to a rigged duel, a sudden shift of power, and a cascade of romantic entanglements that spiral delightfully out of control. With mistaken identities, unexpected claims, and just the right legal twist, everything teeters between chaos and comedy.

Join us as we proudly present “The Grand Duke, or, The Statutory Duel,” –a sparkling, rarely performed gem you won’t want to miss!

Stay tuned for more details… the drama is just getting started!
