Ruddigore 2020/21
The Show That Never Was
This production of Ruddigore was well into rehearsals when the Covid-19 pandemic struck in March 2020 and all activities had to be halted. Initially, the show was postponed until Spring 2021 but as the various strains and peaks of the infection occurred over the next 12 to 18 months, the decision was taken to cancel the show and to return with the much more popular Pirates when conditions permitted, hopefully in 2022.
The details of the cancelled show are given here in recognition of all the hard work and dedication of all those involved in the show.
