Wolverton G&S present 'Patience'

Are you looking for something different to liven up your May evening? Then look no further than Wolverton Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s latest production in their 50th anniversary year.

Patience is Gilbert and Sullivan’s witty satire on the aesthetic movement of the 1870s-1880s and pokes fun at fads, superficiality, vanity and hypocrisy. The aesthetic movement, known as “art for art’s sake”, prioritised beauty over practical concerns which was, by many, considered self-indulgent. The two poets in Patience, Bunthorne and Grosvenor, are frequently likened to Oscar Wilde. The show is one of G&S’s most popular and has a lot of funny dialogue and rousing music.

Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous donor, the production will feature authentic dragoon uniforms for the Guards and exquisite Aesthetic dresses for the ‘lovesick’ maidens, ensuring a truly authentic and visually stunning presentation. It features a talented cast of local performers together with a vibrant orchestra.
