Quartet is by turns funny and poignant, and premiered in September 1999 at the Albery Theatre, London.
Set in a retirement home for opera singers, we meet Cecily, Reggie and Wilfred who are relatively content with their surroundings. Each year the home presents a concert to celebrate VerdiÂ’s birthday. . . . . . enter Jean, who used to be married to Reggie, and everyonesÂ’ equilibrium is disrupted.
She still acts like a diva and refuses to sing, or take part in the concert. But the show must go on. . . .
Quartet was written by the acclaimed Ronald Harwood, whose previous successes include “The Dresser” and “Taking Sides”, (produced to high praise by Encore Theatre in 2000).

Cast required - 2M, 2F, age - 60's
