The Sorcerer(1982)

The Sorcerer is a comic operetta about a village wedding that spirals into chaos. When Alexis marries Aline, he decides everyone in Ploverleigh should experience the purity of true love—so he hires Mr. Wells, a magic dealer, to slip a love potion into the water supply. The scheme backfires spectacularly. The vicar, the local dignitaries, and all the villagers fall into hilariously mismatched infatuations, creating romantic pandemonium. Complicating matters is the fact that Aline's mother, Lady Sangazure, happens to be Sir Marmaduke's former lover. As jealousy and bewilderment mount, the village descends into absurd disorder. A witty satire of love, marriage, and good intentions gone wrong, The Sorcerer showcases the clever wordplay and melodic charm that define Victorian comic opera.
