Surreal comedy meets genuinely spooky Victorian chiller in an unmissable production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s RUDDIGORE; or, The Witch’s Curse, at London’s Wilton’s Music Hall from 14 to 25 March 2023.
Presented by Oracle Productions and directed by Peter Benedict (Mapp & Lucia – The Musical and Terry Pratchett’s Guards! Guards!), RUDDIGORE will feature all the familiar G&S elements: terrific music, cheeky social satire, comic pathos and a sensational cast singing faster than you’d think humanly possible – but with a seasoning of sinister spectres.
With its faded Victorian grandeur, Wilton’s Music Hall lends itself to a tale of ancestral ghosts who haunt the family picture gallery, and this innovative production will provide spine-tingling moments amidst the laughs.
Take a step back in time and experience Benedict’s hilariously haunting take on Gilbert & Sullivan’s tenth collaboration featuring some visual and musical surprises.
A family curse means a baronet must commit a crime every day or perish. In trying to escape his fate, he encounters dancing sailors, a bunch of frustrated bridesmaids and a chorus of ghosts. What could possibly go wrong?
A night of visual enchantment and fast-moving comedy which only demands of the audience that it sits enraptured – Evening Standard on The Country Wife
Meticulously polished and exuberantly convincing – The Times on Twelfth Night
Don’t miss this truly magical experience performed in London’s oldest Victorian music hall. Cast and creative team to be announced. Age recommendation: 12-plus.

“When the night wind howls in the chimney cowls, and the bat in the moonlight flies,
And inky clouds, like funeral shrouds, sail over the midnight skies.” – W.S. Gilbert
