Patience

1995 · 130 min

A witty, tuneful operetta with dry satire and lively performances that feels like a charming, slightly absurd evening at the theatre.

Overview: Rival poets Reginald Bunthorne (a 'fleshy poet') and Archibald Grosvenor (an 'idyllic poet') vie for the affections of the lovely milkmaid Patience. A 1995 Opera Australia performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic operetta, recorded at the Sydney Opera House.
How it feels: Whimsical, satirical, romantic and light. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Love, identity, art, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
