Ruddigore 2018

Charles Mills (Richard Dauntless)
Charles balances his day job as finance director of Graeae
Theatre Company with evenings spent on the amateur
stage and in chamber choirs. He has just appeared in PBGS
production of “A Little Night Music” and is pleased to be
playing Richard again and dancing the “hornpipe”
Jessica Hallett (Zorah)
Jessica joined SAODS in 2016 for the production of Patience
and is back for more. She has recently played Petra (A
Little Night Music) with PBGS and performs annually with
Bedfordshire Youth Opera, including playing Madame Armfeldt
(ALNM) and more recently “The Old Lady With One Buttock”
(Candide). She is certainly relieved to have both buttocks for
this show.
Margaret Snape (Dame Hannah)
Margaret fell in love with G&S at an early age and has sung
most of the mezzo roles with local societies. When not on
stage she can be found directing or choreographing, but her
first love is treading the boards. She is delighted to be playing
Dame Hannah
David Crew (Sir Roderic Murgatroyd)
Having played most of the G&S baritone leads and a range
of non-G&S roles, David was honoured to receive the 2014
NODA area award for Best Male Performance and two further
nominations since. David is delighted to re-join SAODS to play
Sir Roderic again – 44 years on!
Sandra Buck (Ruth)
Sandra joined Stewartby in 2005 and has since done many
G&S productions in the chorus. She has also performed with
Show Co, Bedford. Last year she played Fleta and is pleased
to be Ruth, a bridesmaid.
