Ruddigore Gilbert and Sullivan Seattle Everett Steampunk

Ruddigore Gilbert and Sullivan Seattle Everett Steampunk


So, we're doin' this show...


"Ruddigore" is Gilbert and Sullivan.
(Short definition: Victorian Musical Comedy).


It's a rare Gilbert & Sullivan piece, first put up in 1887.
It ran for hundreds of performances, and then it was shelved,
for a long while.


We retrieved it, and figured out a contemporary angle.


Steampunk!
(Short definition: Victorian Science Fiction.)


So, it's Victorian Musical Comedy meets
Victorian Science Fiction.


The story line is exciting fantasy.

Cursed by a witch!
Chased by ghosts for all eternity!
Accused of crimes he was forced to commit!

I play an Ancestor, Sir Lionel Murgatroyd,

the Sixth Baronet of Ruddigore.  He is an angry ghost,
who comes out of a painting.  Since this was written
in 1887, before movies were invented in 1895,
my part makes me the world's first moving picture.


Got that?

I made a video, to explain "Ruddigore."
