URGENT CASTING CALL - RUDDIGORE
MAIDENHEAD OPERATIC SOCIETY (MOS) is producing Ruddigore or The Witch’s Curse,12-14 November 2026, at the Bourne End Community Centre, SL8 5SX.
Ruddigore is a classic and well-loved Gilbert & Sullivan operetta and our experienced team of Lucy Seymour (director) and David Batsman (musical director) is planning a production that will enable all the performers to display their musical and dramatic talents, and ensure the audience enjoys all the comic moments.
We are starting rehearsals and are looking to welcome more men to join us as ancestors and/or villagers, and in particular as:
Robin Oakapple (later Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd) – Baritone: Robin requires comic timing, and the ability to convincingly play both humble and heroic.... and to be remarkably unconvincing as a villain. Patter ability is important.
Richard Dauntless (Robin’s Foster-Brother)- Tenor: Stylish, dashing and confident – good diction and patter singing.
We rehearse Tuesday and/or Thursday evenings at Taplow Village Hall, near Maidenhead. If you would like more information and/or to chat to our director, Lucy Seymour, please contact her via our Chair, Janet Stone janetcrookes@hotmail.com.
Our Gilbert & Sullivan productions are legendary – come and be part of the fun!
