Cecily, Reggie and Wilfred are in ahome for retired opera singers,where each year there is a concert

to celebrate Verdi's birthday. Theymight be old in years, but mentallyand emotionally, they are still young,sexy, feisty - and just a bit theatrical.

All is quiet until Reggies ex wifeJean arrives, still acting like a diva -she refuses to sing in their gala, butthe show must go on! Funny and

poignant, it shows that you canteach an old dog new tricks, andmaybe these old dogs could even

teach you a thing or two! Awonderful and witty evening of entertainment from one of our verybest playwrights!
