Performance Dates 24th November - 27th November
The setting is a retirement home for musicians. Three elderly former opera-singers, who often worked together, are sitting out on the terrace. Reginald is quietly reading a serious book, but jovial Wilfred is chuckling about sex, as he regards Cissy, lying back and listening to music through her headphones.
They are about to be joined by newcomer Jean, who was a major star in her day and to whom Reginald was once unhappily married.
Is there any chance that these four will ever sing together again? A gala concert is about to take place at the retirement home to celebrate Verdi’s birthday. Three of the four are keen to recreate the third act quartet "Bella figlia dell' more" from Rigoletto and one is not.
The show must go on in this funny and poignant play by the author of Another Time, The Dresser and Interpreters.
