  Charles Court Opera

patience

By W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan
First performed at The King's Head Theatre, June 2014
Charles Court Opera's fresh and witty production of Gilbert & Sullivan's hilarious satire on artistic movements and meaningless fads., brimming with cheeky humour, memorable songs and delicious characters.

Directed by John Savournin and designed by Simon Bejer (winner of Best Opera Production at the Off-West-End Theatre Awards 2014), set this brand new production in a village pub taken over by Gothic trends, bringing Gilbert's plot bang up to date and accessible to a modern audience.
