Patience: The Soldiers of Our Queen / If You Want a Receipt for that Popular Mystery

Colonel Calverley: Steven Binns Our version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Patience takes place in an overpriced, overdesigned and overpretentious coffee shop frequented by a selection of image conscious hipsters and squaddies from the local base, who have hopes of picking up an attractive girlfriend before heading back to the front. They’re well aware however that the only reason the ladies flock in such numbers is that renowned performance artist, Reginald Bunthorne (always accompanied by his agent), creates and muses at the café’s table, never far away from his pocket Casio and prone to outbursts of creative fervour. He is the optimum of zeitgeist. Despite the adoration of every wealthy and well-connected woman in London, Bunthorne has eyes only for the coffee shop waitress, overworked Patience, who is entirely uninterested in him and claims to have never loved at all. All this changes when rival performance artist Archibald Grosvenor appears on the scene, Patience is immediately head over heels but is told by her customer Angela that love must be entirely unselfish, she believes that her love for Grosvenor is selfish because he is so perfect and so they can never be together. As Patience unwillingly couples with Bunthorne (loving him can’t be a selfish act), the socialites (much to the continued frustration of the soldiers) turn their attentions to Grosvenor, aggravating Bunthorne as he loses the admiration of everyone, including his agent. Only Jane, addled by drink and drugs and permanently hungover, retains any interest in him and it remains to be seen if this unlikely duo will achieve what it takes to get Bunthorne back on top with a willing bride.
