Patience

Directed by Val Penketh
Musical Direction by Peter Jones
Choreographed by Jo Martin

Set in 1940s rural England, this intricate tale of unrequited love fits perfectly within the realm of rustic Land Girls and eccentric Home Guardsmen. Gilbert’s cleverly crafted comedy, combined with some of Sullivan’s finest music, speaks for itself in a fresh, appealing and highly entertaining production of an infrequently performed piece.
