Venue

Ruddigore 2008 was staged in Central Hall. The current standard set was used, with a few minor modifications:

  • A centre entrance using the "Tetris Pieces" from the Kaleidoshow set was used in act one.
    • The curtains were rigged to pull back like theatre curtains so that a projections screen could be revealed.
    • In act two, a fire place section was placed in front of the entrance for Roderick to appear from.
  • Framed portraits were placed on the act two set. These were covered by a second set of flats during act one, which were screwed directly onto the flats behind.
    • The portraits could be covered by a black curtain with attached boom; these worked mostly like Roman blinds, and were lowered and raised when the ghosts appeared and disappeared.
