We are delighted to welcome Utopians Unlimited back to Carshalton Methodist Church for another fully-costumed Gilbert & Sullivan production.

Ruddigore, sung in English, is a ghostly comic operetta. It's a satire of Victorian gothic melodrama, popular at the time on the stage and in novels, but Gilbert turns all the genre's stereotypes upside down. The villain becomes good, the hero becomes the villain, the 'virtuous' maiden casually swaps lovers - and it has a happy ending!
