Picture
“The masters of G&S in small spaces” bring their “ingenious” production of one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s funniest operettas to audiences across the UK this summer.

Directed by John Savournin, musically directed by David Eaton (the team behind the recent smash-hit production of Pirates at Opera Holland Park) and designed by Simon Bejer (winner of Best Opera at the Off West End Awards), audiences can expect first class performances from a terrific young cast, which will be announced soon.

Gilbert’s pen was rarely sharper than when he wrote this delicious satire on artistic movements, hero-worship and meaningless fads. Patience brims with biting humour, over the top characters, and music that is by turns toe-tapping and sumptuous.  It is a satire of the aesthetic movement that gained the support of Oscar Wilde, which the team bring into the 21st century in this inventive reimagining.
