ウィリアム・シュベンク・ギルバート(英: William Schwenck Gilbert[1]、1836年11月18日 - 1911年5月29日)は、イギリスの劇作家、リブレット作者、詩人、イラストレーターであり、作曲家アーサー・サリヴァンとの共作になる14の喜歌劇(サヴォイ・オペラと呼ばれた)で良く知られている。その中でも有名なのが『軍艦ピナフォア』、『ペンザンスの海賊』であり、歌劇場の歴史でも最も多く公演された作品の1つが『ミカド』である[2]。これらの作品やその他幾つかのサヴォイ・オペラは英語圏の歌劇団、レパートリー劇団、学校、コミュニティ劇団といった枠を超えて度々演じられ続けている。これら作品の台詞は英語の一部となっており、例えば「素早く厳しい罰」、「何、一度も無い?それではほとんど無い!」[3]や、「犯罪に罰を合させよう」がある[4]。

That he occasionally degrades high and beautiful themes is not surprising. To do so had been the regular proceeding in burlesque, and the age almost expected it; but Gilbert's is not the then usual hearty cockney vulgarity."

- ^ Gilbert gave a speech in 1885 at a dinner to benefit the Dramatic and Musical Sick Fund, which is reprinted in The Era, 21 February 1885, p. 14, in which he said: "In ... the dress circle on the rare occasion of the first performance of an original English play sits a young lady of fifteen. She is a very charming girl—gentle, modest, sensitive—carefully educated and delicately nurtured ... an excellent specimen of a well-bred young English gentlewoman; and it is with reference to its suitability to the eyes and ears of this young lady that the moral fitness of every original English play is gauged on the occasion of its production. It must contain no allusions that cannot be fully and satisfactorily explained to this young lady; it must contain no incident, no dialogue, that can, by any chance, summon a blush to this young lady’s innocent face. ...I happen to know that, on no account whatever, would she be permitted to be present at a première of M. Victorien Sardou or M. Alexandre Dumas. ...the dramatists of France can only ring out threadbare variations of that dirty old theme—the cheated husband, the faithless wife, and the triumphant lover."

- ^ George Grossmith wrote that, at least sometime, "Mr. Gilbert is a perfect autocrat, insisting that his words should be delivered, even to an inflection of the voice, as he dictates. He will stand on the stage beside the actor or actress, and repeat the words with appropriate action over and over again, until they are delivered as he desires them to be."

- ^ In Gilbert, W. S., A Stage Play, Gilbert describes the effect of these demonstrations: "...when he endeavours to show what he wants his actors to do, he makes himself rather ridiculous, and there is a good deal of tittering at the wings; but he contrives, nevertheless, to make himself understood...."

With respect to Brantinghame Hall, however, Stedman (1996), p. 254, says, "It was a failure, the worst failure of Gilbert's career."
