Thespis Or The Gods Grown Old is a book written by William S. Gilbert. It is a comic opera in two acts that tells the story of a group of gods who have grown old and bored with their eternal existence. To liven things up, they decide to descend to earth and take on mortal form, leaving their powers behind. They end up in a small village, where they start a theatre company and become the talk of the town. However, their mortal bodies begin to age and they realize that they can never return to their former godly state. The opera is filled with witty dialogue, catchy songs, and humorous situations. It was first performed in 1871 and is considered one of Gilbert's early works.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, by William S.
