Patience or Bunthorne's Bride, 2006

showtimes | review | staff | cast | orchestra

From the culinary genius of Gilbert & Sullivan and master chef Derrick Ivey: Take one beautiful village girl, add two rival but equally hip young poets and mix in a large helping of out-of-touch townspeople for a topsy-turvy confection laced with generous portions of wit, satire and infectious melody. Serves the entire family.

Review

"This Durham Savoyards' production ... reminded its observers anew that artistic expression is but a magnifying glass used to shed light on the human condition in all its seriousness or - as here - utmost hilarity." Classical Voice of NC [full review]
