Ruddigore

Fall 1992

Gilbert & Sullivan

Young Robin Oakapple and Sweet Rose Maybud are in love, but too shy to tell each other until Robin's foster-brother, Richard Dauntless (a sailor) woos her himself. But Young Robin is secretly none other than Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, Baronet of Ruddigore -- the latest in a noble line cursed to do an evil deed each and every day, or be tortured to death by the ghosts of his ancestors!

Stage Directed by Peter Atlas
Music Directed by Robert Weingart

Performed in MIT Room 54-100 October 30 and 31, and November 1, 5, 6, and 7, 1992
