"That was 'Ruddigore' as it should be done - excellent."

"To be honest, I've never liked 'Ruddigore' as a show and I wasn't looking forward to coming, but I really enjoyed it."

"What a pleasure it has been to take part in another of your shows - as it always is. 'Ruddigore' is a challenging show for both cast, director, MD and audience! What a marvellous piece you have created. I have seldom seen a more imaginitive approach. My 'producer's' eye for detail was delighted by consistency such as the black and white of act one and the silent movie theme - a masterstroke. Once again you have a cast without weak link and the way you have got Sim [aka Barry Goodsell, playing Sir Ruthven] to deliver subtle variations of dialogue and lyrics - a difficult thing to do - is carried off with a skill which disguises the complexity and challenge. The humour supplied by the off-the-wall aspects such as the antipodean mariner work really well - don't take any sour grapes from G&S traditionalists. A show to be really proud of - thank you for inviting me to take part." Mike Wood (main music man at Oakmeeds Community College and our percussionist)
