Ruddigore
Fall 1997
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!
