When it’s 1820 and you haven’t seen your boyfriend in 10 years

We all assume that Old Adam kidnaps Dame Hannah when Ruthven says to carry off “any lady” because Adam has a crush on Hannah, which is mentioned by the bridesmaids in Act 1.

But it was just pointed out to me that Adam is almost certainly the same age or older than Hannah.  It’s likely he lived in the village of Reddering most of his life, possible he even worked for the Murgatroyds since he was a young man- if Ruthven had hired him after running away, Adam would probably not know that Robin was Ruthven in disguise.  I assume Adam knew about young Ruthven’s plan to fake his own death to avoid the title, and followed him to keep an eye on him or something.  And honestly, his suggestions for crimes in Act 2 suggest that maybe this isn’t his first time being Evil Henchman.

  Which means Adam very probably KNOWS that Hannah and Roderick were engaged 40 years ago and broke up when the previous ancestor died and Roddy had to go away to be the Bad Baronet.  So maybe Adam brought her there knowing she’d have to talk to Roderick and perhaps clear up some past misunderstandings.

(Any basses reading this who have played Old Adam and would like to weigh in on his motivations, please do.  Or non-basses who just like Ruddygore :))

Adam walks into the radio tower, his intrusion being silent, his hand running along the wall of the interior and sitting at his radio desk was Alastor. A grin as he takes a look around the room. "Right. So this is where the magic happens, huh Son?"

It was almost startling the way the Radio Demon didn't know anyone was even in the room with him until he spoke. Alastor whipped around in his chair to face the intruder. He tried to narrow his eyes, but ended up with a more curious expression instead.

"Well, old fellow," Alastor said instead, his voice holding a bit of huff to the tone. "I do hope you mean my broadcast, you can never be too sure in Hell. Is there.....something I can do for you, sir?"

The Tom Sawyer Approach

The Tom Sawyer Approach

   “Tom Sawyer… skips school to swim and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses consistently, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the…
