Ruddigore or the Witch’s Curse

This melodramatic, supernatural comic opera is right up there with the Perils of Pauline and the daring do of Dudley Do-Right, Tess Trueheart and Snidely K. Whiplash. Gilbert turns melodrama on its head when a cursed Baronet turns out to be a good guy, a crazy lady becomes a Sunday School teacher, a British Tar is a snake in the grass, the heroine is a gold digger and the hero turns out to have a curse of his own to deal with Stir in a passel of ghosts in a haunted castle, some excellent signing, dancing and acting, and we’re confident you will go home thoroughly entertained.

Thursday, June 9th, 7PM, 9250 14th Ave NW. And, did we already mention:
