Details: Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But they're in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert? ---------- Dustin Hoffman's first foray into directing, The Quartet" is a comedy starring Maggie Smith (The "Harry Potter" Franchise, "Gnomeo and Juliet"), Billy Connolly ("Gulliver's Travels", "The Last Samurai"), Tom Courtenay ("At the Crossroads Worlds: The Golden Compass"), and Pauline Collins ("Albert Nobbs"), as four retired opera singers, and orchestra conductor Michael Gambon (The "Harry Potter" franchise ", "The King's Speech"). " The Quartet" tells the story of Reggie (Courtenay), Wilf (Connolly) and Cissy (Collins) who live in the Beecham House, a residence for retired musicians. Every year, the residents put on a show to celebrate Verdi's birthday, in addition to raising funds to maintain their establishment. Reggie's ex-wife, Jean (Smith), arrives at the Beecham House and creates quite a stir, playing the diva, but refusing to take part in the concert. " The Quartet” is a screenplay by Sir Ronald Harwood.
