The Ardensingers: Ruddigore April 25, 2009

'Ruddigore' is Gilbert & Sullivan's "supernatural melodrama." Rose Maybud and the young farmer, Robin Oakapple, overcome their shyness and become engaged, but can their love endure, given the dark secret of Robin's past and the treachery of his foster brother Richard, a "gallant seaman"? Meet the cursed Baronet of Ruddigore (Sir Despard, destined to commit a crime a day), Margaret (driven to madness by her love for the "bad Baronet"), the Castle Ruddigore ghosts, a company of professional bridesmaids, and many more!
