Theatre Review: Patience
This show is a genial celebration of Gilbert and Sullivan at their most gloriously camp. A buxom milkmaid, a brace of affected aesthetes, a posse of lovesick maidens and the 35th Dragoon Guards combine to entertain us with a soufflé-light satire on fashions in art and aesthetics. It may have been written in the late nineteenth century, but its universal topic makes it as much fun today as it was in 1881.
