To be staged at the Rose Hill Theatre, Rose Hill, Chesterfield from Thursday, November 10 to Saturday, November 12, the theatre company’s production stars a very experienced cast including David Holmes, Susan Turner, Simon Gordon and Rosalie Hoskin.

Quartet tells the story of once-popular opera diva Jean Horton played by Susan Turner) who creates a stir with her arrival at Beecham House, a home for retired performers. No one feels the uproar more than Reginald (Simon Gordon), Jean’s ex-husband, who still stings from her long-ago infidelity. Most of the other Beecham residents are delighted, and try to convince Jean to join them in a performance of “Rigoletto.” Jean, however, knows that she is long past her prime and is reluctant to sully the memory of her once-lovely voice.

Tickets are £10 and are available from the theatre box office (01246 271540) or online at rosetheatrechesterfield.co.uk
