Totally True Patience Fact:
Patience was the OG “Savoy Opera,” because halfway through its run it transferred to the brand-new Savoy Theatre. And honestly? The Savoy was serving major future vibes—it was the first theatre in London with electric lighting. ⚡

That’s right. While other theatres were still giving “dim gaslamp and tuberculosis,” Patience rolled up like: “Ugh, gas lighting is literally over.”

But because even Victorian technology had trust issues, they kept the gas lamps installed as backup. Because nothing says alternative icon energy like fearing your edgy new aesthetic could short-circuit mid-show.

Don't be a total poser and forget your to get your tickets to Patience, or Bunthorne High! June 26-28th!
