The show opens with 20 maidens lamenting their unrequited love for the “fleshly” poet of the town, the sullen Reginald Bunthorne (Roy A. Kimmey III ’09). Modeled after Oscar Wilde, Reginald’s “weird fancy” had somehow alighted on Patience (Annie Levine ’08), the village milk-maid. But Patience, dressed simply and unadorned, claims that she “won?...
