By Gilbert and Sullivan
All the well-born young ladies in the village, rapturously caught up in aestheticism,
are in love with two contrasting aesthetic poets--a “fleshy” poet and an “idyllic”
poet. But the poets are both in love with Patience, the simple village milkmaid, who
cares nothing for poetry. Patience learns that true love must be completely unselfish-
-it must wither and sting and burn! The girls’ military suitors don’t see the point to
aesthetics, but they decide to give it a try to win the women’s hearts. It is touch and
go for awhile, but everyone ends up with a suitable partner, even if it is only a tulip
or lily.
This musical is touted as one of the finest in the G&S canon, yet is very seldom
performed. Come and enjoy the privilege, in the tradition of Morpheus Theatre, of
seeing a show worth seeing!
