Patience

Seattle Repertory Theatre
155 Mercer Street Seattle

Director Ruben Van Kempen and Maestro Bernard Kwiram lead a delightful new production of this rollicking comedy featuring rapturous maidens, handsome and moody poets, a platoon of enthusiastic British Dragoon Guards, and the local milkmaid who throws a wrench in it all! One of their most successful shows, Patience; or Bunthorne's Bride brims with the lyrical genius and keen edge for satire that have made Gilbert & Sullivan household names for generations. But it's more than just a witty and funny show; the score also boasts some of Sullivan's most plaintive melodies and beautiful orchestrations. The Seattle Gilbert & Sullivan Society is delighted to present this true masterpiece at The Bagley Wright Theatre at Seattle Rep.
