Constance (Jean Mitchell), invites the Vicar (Allan Hargreaves) and the Notary (David Pollard) to accept a cup of tea.

From a review by Norman Powell:
Although "The Sorcerer" was the first opera written by the "new" team of Gilbert and Sullivan nearly 100 years ago, it never achieved the same popularity as their subsequent works. Local theatregoers and G. and S. devotees in particular, have the opportunity this week of seeing this rarely-performed comic opera at the College Theatre presented by Burnley Gilbert and Sullivan Society. The show opened on Saturday, 16th February 1974, before a full house, and received an excellent reception and was well staged, with some excellent solo performances and a very strong chorus.

The leading singing roles of Alexis and Alice are played by Ernest Smith and Dorothy Dawes, both confident and assured, and in excellent voice, while Roy Kippax as the Sorcerer, J. Wellington Wells, was in grand form, though he looked far too mild to have such powers. Allan Hargreaves and Beryl Andrews are both entrusted with principal roles for the first time, but Allan as the Vicar and Beryl as Lady Sangazure more than justified their inclusion and they gave most competent performances. Norman Atkinson, Jean Mitchell, Harry Tatham and David Pollard completed the cast and the Burnley society is to be congratulated on having the courage to stage one of the less popular works. The musical director is Thomas Burrows, accompanist Diana Preston and the producer David T. Preston.
