The funny and poignant play set in a retirement home for musicians. Opera singers Cecily, Reggie, Wilfred, at the end of their careers, find themselves relatively impoverished because they have always been ‘on tour’ and have no homes to retire to. Annually they put on an entertainment to mark the birthday of Giuseppe Verdi, the composer.
All is sweetness and light until the arrival of Jean, an opera star whose husband had died leaving her unexpectedly without a home and unable to keep to the lifestyle to which she is accustomed. The play then follows the inter-personal relationships of the four characters while they are trying to find a way they could perform for the concert. Voices are not what they used to be!

Cecily (Cicci) – Nicci Harvey
