A sharp satirical romp through the world of "aesthetic" obsession, this Gilbert and Sullivan biting comedy remains relevant today, poking fun at anyone who ever followed a "fad" just to be cool. Featuring a sparkling score and some of Sullivan's most beloved patter songs, Patience is a colourful, witty masterpiece about the difference between true love and vanity.The PLOT - When the local Dragoons return home to marry their sweethearts, they are horrified to find that every young lady in town has fallen under the spell of Reginald Bunthorne, a poet who embodies the trendy Aesthetic movement of the 1880's.

Things get even more complicated when a second "idyllic" poet arrives, sparking a hilarious battle of egos, velvet suits and ridiculous poses,
