A family curse means a baronet must commit a crime every day or perish. In trying to escape his fate, he encounters dancing sailors, a bunch of frustrated bridesmaids and a chorus of ghosts. What could possibly go wrong?
Written as a glorious send up of Victorian melodrama, this new staging draws on a love of classic Hammer movies, which were sometimes more fun than frightening. Sullivan’s irresistible melodies and Gilbert’s outrageously topsy-turvy twists, barmy characters and quirky humour makes Ruddigore the perfect homage to the genre.
Directed by Peter Benedict, executive producer Fiona Evans, musical direction by Tom Noyes, musical supervision by Richard Baker, choreography by Adam Haigh, design by David Shields, lighting design by Alistair Lindsay, overture studio sounds by Johannes Steinray, sound design by Richard Carter, stage management by Jack Evans, assistant stage management by Matthew O’Connell, video by Tom Fitch, portraits by William Haynes and marketing & PR by Fiona Lockley.
Gilbert & Sullivan’s Ruddigore will play Wilton’s Music Hall, running from 14th – 25th March 2023, with tickets on sale now.
Brilliant! ! !
