This beautifully observed play, set in a retirement home for musicians, sees the settled lives of three once-famous opera singers disrupted by a new arrival. A play with humour, poignancy, sadness of opportunities missed, insecurities of age and a terrific finale when the four of them, voices now gone, sing/mime the Quartet from Rigolleto.
