Ruddigore

Imagine being cursed by a witch! The curse being you have to commit a crime every day of your life...or perish in unspeakable agony!!That is the Ruddigore Curse, applying to all the baronets of that title.

But what has that to do with the young and beautiful Rose Maybud? Or with the professional bridesmaids who are feeling a bit redundant because there have been no weddings in the village for six months? Will young and handsome Robin Oakapple come to the rescue? And is he indeed who he appears to be? And what will happen when Robin's foster-brother Richard Dauntless reaches land after ten years at sea? Why is Mad Margaret...mad??Lots of questions which will be gradually answered in a typically silly and funny plot penned by WS Gilbert, and set to the gorgeous music of Sir Arthur Sullivan; Ruddigore, the follow-up to The Mikado, is one of G&S's lesser known gems, but has all the delightful elements of the Savoy operas, and in the talented hands (and voices) of GASP's amazing performers, it is sure to be just as entertaining as their previous productions.
