Stanford Savoyards presents Gilbert & Sullivan's sixth musical theatre collaboration, Patience, or Bunthorne's Bride on May 17-18, 2014. Directors Doreen Finkelstein and Greg Anderson plunder the science fiction fandom universes of Star Trek and Doctor Who, creating a satire of cosplay in this fully staged and orchestrated entertainment including updated lyrics and costuming inspired by multiple incarnations of both series. Boldly being performed 'under the stars' at The Bowl, an outdoor amphitheater at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Patience runs for three performances.
Patience is set in a contemporary English village, where Bunthorne, an ardent Star Trek fan, is worshipped by all the young ladies who have become Star Trek fans to gain his attention-that is to say, all except for the one he most wants, Patience. The local army regiment returns home on leave to find that even their own fiancees are infatuated with Bunthorne and cosplay dressing in Star Trek garb! A rival science fiction fan, Grosvenor, who adheres to the Doctor Who series, arrives in town and complications mount when he, too, falls in love with Patience. Who will win the heart of Patience-the Trekkie or the Whovian?
Performances are Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18 at 8pm, plus a matinee on Sunday, May 18 at 2pm. Patrons are encouraged to join the cosplay fun and come in Star Trek or Doctor Who costumes. Those who do will receive a free treat at concessions (while supplies last). The Bowl is an intimate venue consisting of 200 seats, so advanced ticket purchases are recommended.
Stanford Savoyards is a student-run community theatre company dedicated to performing Gilbert & Sullivan and light opera. We produce two fully-staged and orchestrated operettas on the Stanford campus per season. Founded in 1973, the troupe is known for putting clever spins on the traditional Gilbert & Sullivan opus, often paying homage to pop culture phenomena such as Tim Burton, Bollywood, Firefly, and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
