Gilbert, Wicked Wit For Liberty			.html	application/xhtml+xml	3527	294	80	In The Mikado (1885), which may be the most frequently performed theatrical work in the English speaking world, Gilbert aimed his wicked wit at those who believed laws could uplift people. "LORD HIGH EXECUTIONER: The Mikado is struck by the fact that no executions have taken place in Titipu for a year and decrees that unless somebody is beheaded within one month the post of Lord High Executioner shall be abolished, and the city reduced to the rank of a village! After two gondoliers, Giuseppe and Marco Palmieri, declare themselves to be ardent republicans who hate kings, Don Alhambra del Bolero, the Grand Inquisitor, informs them that one of them -he doesn't know which -is heir to the throne: "Song and Dance" in Jim Powell, The Triumph of Liberty, A 2,000 Year History Told Through the Lives of Freedom's Greatest Champions (New York: Free Press, 2000).	./cache/www-libertystory-net-1734.html	./txt/www-libertystory-net-1734.txt
