On a rainy night in a town in the north of England, the patter man's understudy in the famous D'Oyly Carte Opera Company is given a day's notice that he is 'on'. A sleepless night ensues and, in the dingy bedroom of his theatrical digs, he tries to rehearse his role - helped, but more often hindered, by one of the other residents of the house - an itinerant variety performer. This musical comedy contains most of the G&S patter songs within a play which is both hilarious and moving, and always engrossing.T01515197253Company Opera Della Luna. Director Jeff Clarke.
