Ruddigore. An exuberant, high kicking and altogether bouncy male chorus competes for centre stage with the flighty, pre-Raphaelite beauty of the female chorus in the Gilbert and Sullivan Players’ production of Ruddigore.

Do you like ghosts? Ruddigore has plenty of ghosts. What about witches? We have one that cursed a baronet. Want young village maidens? What about men dressed in Dragoon guard’s uniforms? Yes, you've guessed it. We have those too. In short it's all typical Gilbert and Sullivan but done from the Gilbert & Sullivan Players’ angle. A more detailed explanation of the Ruddigore plot is for those who don't like surprises.

The songs from the show are simply great. From numbers such as "When the Night Wind Howls", or "Painted Emblems" sung by ghosts to "Welcome Gentry" sung by the Dragoons, villagers and pretty maidens. There's even a hornpipe thrown in if you still yearn for Pirates of Penzance.
