‘Patience’ is one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most successful shows - a rollicking satire on political pretensions, hypocrisy and vanity. It also satirises romantic love, rural simplicity and military bluster.

The sixth operatic collaboration between Arthur Gilbert and WS Sullivan, it was first performed in 1881 and was the first theatrical production in the world to be lit entirely by electric light.

Halifax Gilbert and Sullivan Society is looking for people to take part in ‘Patience’.

Auditions for principal parts for the show will be held on Sunday, May 7 at All Saints Church Hall, and are open to all.
