Oundle Gilbert and Sullivan Players

Robin Oakapple, a simple farmer, has been working up the courage to ask the beautiful Rose Maybud for her hand, but he is hiding a secret – he is actually the Bad Baronet of Ruddigore! He has been hiding in disguise for years while his unwitting younger brother, Despard, assumed the title and the curse.
Revealed by his foster-brother, Richard, Robin must commit a crime every day in order to appease the title’s curse and the ghosts of his ancestors.
Robin wishes to continue his honest life, but how?
