Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore to raise money for St Mary's

Barrow Savoyards proudly present
Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore (or The Witch's Curse)
Monday 22nd to Saturday 27th February 2010
Forumtwentyeight, Duke Street, Barrow-in-Furness

The comic opera Ruddigore makes a return to the stage. Ruddigore has one of the funniest libretto created by the Gilbert and Sullivan duo.

Foundling Rose Maybud is the prettiest girl in the village, but should she marry farmer Robin Oakapple or his sea-faring foster brother Richard Dauntless? Why is the dastardly Sir Despard so pleased to discover his elder brother is alive? And what made Mad Margaret mad? The witch's curse has ruined everyone's lives but with the help of the ghosts that haunt Ruddigore Castle the plot will be unravelled and in true Gilbert and Sullivan style somebody will live happily ever after.

Barrow Savoyards will kindly donate to St Mary's Hospice £1 for every ticket sold for the performance on Tuesday, February 23.
