Ruddigore will be our flagship production and will be rehearsed (as per our previous shows) in one week, culminating in two performances. We will be performing in the North East (Priestman Hall, Roker, Sunderland) on August 8th 2013 and in Buxton Pavilion Arts Centre on August 10th 2013 as part of the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival’s UniFest initiative. Kayleigh Oliver returns as Director, with Rory Oliver as Assistant Director. Philip Hall is also returning as Musical Director, with accompaniment from our specially selected orchestra.
The show is both traditional and non-traditional; we are retaining the integrity of Gilbert and Sullivan’s original but putting our own unique spin on the production in order to rejuvenate the characters and highlight the fantastical chaos that is Ruddigore.
