What’s got a love triangle, jealous soldiers, and lovesick maidens hooked on terrible poetry? Gilbert & Sullivan’s Patience. A rollicking satire on aestheticism, Patience shows us that starry-eyed fans of today’s heartthrobs aren’t much different from the poet-groupies in Victorian England.

Patience, the village milkmaid, fails to see what all the fuss is about. Unimpressed by all this pretentious frippery she gives voice to the absurdity spouted by the rival poets. In typical G&S topsy-turvy style, all is not what it seems, as you’ll witness when you see this sparkling show. Oh, be Early English, ‘ere it is too late! Reserve your tickets today.
