Project Synopsis
Step into a world of ghostly ancestors, secret identities and topsy-turvy romance in Gilbert & Sullivan’s Ruddigore! Shy Robin Oakapple dreams of marrying Rose Maybud, but hides a dark secret: he is heir to a cursed title that demands its holder commit a crime every day—or face the consequences! When his identity is revealed, Robin must contend with his formidable ancestors and find a way to break the curse. Brimming with witty comedy, lively music and supernatural surprises, Ruddigore is a delightfully spooky comic operetta.
