RUDDYGORE " Edinburgh
This is not the best-known Savoy Opera, and (perhaps unfairly) was deemed a flop on first production, coming after the all-conquering Mikado. It tells of young farmer Robin Oakapple, who plans to wed sweet Rose Maybud " but is in reality Ruthven Murgatroyd, one of a family of 'bad baronets' who live under a witch's curse, and must commit a crime daily or suffer death by torture.
