- Dr Sullivan and Mr Gilbert (play)
Dr Sullivan and Mr Gilbert is a play written by Christopher Webber on commission from Mull Theatre and successfully performed there for a run of performances throughout July, August and September 1993. It was revived in 1998 (Glasgow Citizens' Theatre and national tour), again with success. The play is a fantasy retelling of the Gilbert and Sullivan story, in which images and characters from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" are superimposed onto familiar figures from the Savoy Operas.
The play was published in 2001 by Couthurst Press (ISBN 1-902819-00-4).
