Three elderly former opera singers who have often worked together in the past - Cecily, Reggie and Wilfred - are now residents in a home for retired musicians.
They are about to be joined by newcomer Jean, who herself was a major star back in the day and to whom Reginald was once unhappily married. The status quo is soon to be disrupted.
The annual gala concert is about to take place at the retirement home to celebrate Verdi's birthday. Three of the four are keen to recreate the third act quartet from Rigoletto but one isn't. Jean. She still acts like the diva she always has been and refuses to sing.
Is there any chance these four will sing together again? Surely the show must go on.....?
Directed by Hamish Lawson, Quartet runs at the Wilmslow Green Room theatre from Saturday May 7th to Saturday May 14th. For further information, please visit www.wgrsoc.org.uk or call the box office on 01625 540933.
