Play: Quartet
Playwright: Ken Harwood
Genre: Comedy, but not a musical
Synopsis: The story takes place in a home for retired musicians. It focuses on three old friends: opera singers.

The problem is, Jean is not very nice and the ex wife of one of the old friends.
What the Critics Said:
- Writing for The Independent,
Paul Taylor described the play as “an unashamed – no, shameless – vehicle for four feisty old troupers whose task is to make us laugh a little, sigh a little and cry a little as they take us into the bittersweet world of facing up to age and mortality.”
- Reviewing the play for The Spectator, Sheridan Morley concluded: “Harwood seems to have set out with something sad to say about the ravages of age on a profession which largely depends on staying young, but then to have been sidetracked into a sort of Three Tenors concert celebration without the Three Tenors
