---------------------------------------------
Welcome to the apparently sleepy village of Rederring, Cornwall, where a troupe of
professional bridesmaids on zero hours impatiently await a new bride to attend. But
the village also hides a dark secret - the noble Murgatroyd family, whose current
head is forced by an old witch's curse to commit a daily crime or die in agony!
But is a bride about to appear? - A shy young farmer and prim village girl would love to tie the knot but are too coy to do anything other than exchange pleasantries. There is a mystery about this farmer - is he somehow connected to the Murgatroyds? The truth begins to emerge when his foster-brother returns from sea and offers to help him plead his case for the girl, with unfortunate consequences!
Gilbert & Sullivan's parody of the Victorian melodrama has all the necessary theatrical elements - bad baronets, village maidens, a poor, mad jilted bride, a picture gallery of ghosts and at the heart a tender love story which finally triumphs.
