What is PATIENCE?  It is a musically delicious satire on both the aesthetic movement, characterized by Oscar Wilde and the painter Whistler, and the overblown conceit and bravado of the British military in the 1880s.  The leading lady, Patience, is a milkmaid with a beautiful voice and an obsession with the strange idea that true love must be sacrificial.  Two aesthetic poets, Bunthorne and Grosvenor, vie for her love, while contending with the overwhelming adoration of the aesthetic maidens of the chorus and the somewhat overpowering Lady Jane.  One of the funniest scenes in all of G&S occurs when the Dragoon Guards decide that the only way to recapture the formerly devoted hearts of the ladies is to imitate the outlandish poets.  

Patience is Gilbert and Sullivan at the height of their lyrical and satirical powers, and we look forward to seeing you next Winter for what promises to be an extremely fun and topsy-turvy production.
