RUDDIGORE (or The Witch’s curse) is a “supernatural opera” featuring ghosts, a mad woman, a man who must do an evil deed a day, a baron hiding from his destiny, and a corps of professsional bridesmaids!”
RUDDIGORE is a takeoff on Victorian melodrama where Gilbert turns moral absolutes upside-down. Good becomes bad, bad becomes good, and heroes take the easy way out!
RUDDIGORE is packed with strange characters, a twisted plot, true love, mayhem, and lots of laughs. Come see CG&SS’s spookiest and kookiest rendition of Gilbert’s wittiest and Sullivan’s prettiest!
