By Ronald Harwood

SYNOPSIS
Cecily, Reggie and Wilf are a thoroughly eclectic bunch of retired British
opera singers - each famous in their individual careers and also for their
mutually celebrated appearance in Verdi's “Rigoletto” - now living together in a
retirement home.
Whilst contemplating an item to perform for the celebration of Verdi's
birthday, they are stunned by the arrival of Jean, the fourth and final member
of their famous Rigoletto quartet. Egos collide as Jean rejoins the famous four,
in this inspired production about the ageing artist’s performing dreams.
