The Savoy Arts Company Presents Gilbert & Sullivan's Ruddigore with full orchestra in celebration of the life of their Patron the late Dr James Angel OBE.
In this parody of the traditional melodrama, the Baronets of Ruddigore have been cursed and are compelled to commit a crime each day or die an agonising death. In Ruddigore Gilbert's humour is put into stark relief by the beauty of Sullivan's composition, the dark tale of the forces of evil is countered by a group of professional bridesmaids who are a positive force to be reckoned with, and ghosts and ghouls and dastardly deeds abound.
In typical G & S topsy turvy-dom we find a love triangle made up of a naive maiden, a cowardly imposter and his swaggering foster brother, a reformed reprobate and his former lover grown mad through unrequited love and an elderly spinster who is reunited with her dead lover.
With artistic direction by Australia's own Simon Ward, musical direction by visiting Italian conductor, Cristian Cimei and costumes by Sandra Tutt, this promises to be a delightful theatre experience.
