Robin Hood & the Babes in the wood

by Ben Crocker

Welcome to Sherwood forest, where dawn is about to break, the birds sing and everywhere there’s a rustling and snuffling as the animals wake up and search for their breakfast…
But beware the fearsome gangs of horny handed outlaws who also lurk in the bushes ready to steal from the rich to give to the poor! Join cocky Robin Hood and his merry gang of misfits as they attempt to thwart the deviously cunning plots of the most wicked and lecherous Sheriff of Nottingham.
Will the unlawfully outlawed reclaim their rightful lands and hard earned glory?
Will the shifty Sheriff marry the unwilling Maid Marion?
Can Robin out wit the Sheriff and rescue his love from the One Doored Tower of Doom?
Will Little Joan and Tuck learn to read?
Only with your help! Laugh, taunt, boo and sing along as we retell a classic legend of wicked deeds, valour, friendship and love in the Pantomime tradition. We sincerely hope you enjoy the show.
