What could be more fun than a romp through Sherwood Forest with the dashing Robin Hood and his Merry Men? . . . Go on, get yourself to the Sneddon to see the pantomime Robin Hood & the Babes in the Wood. This delightful journey through the enchanted forests and castles of Medieval England guarantees to thrill and delight audiences of all ages with dragons, forest creatures, transformations, battles and dances, and the fun of familiar songs and witty jokes.
Robin Hood & the Babes in the Wood is produced by KickstArt, directed by Steven Stead, designed by Greg King with lighting design by Tina le Roux and choreography by Janna Ramos Violante. Musical direction is by Evan Roberts and Shelley Maclean.
Lyle Buxton stars as the swash-buckling hero, with the lovely Londiwe Dhlomo as his sweetheart, Maid Marian. Their nemesis is the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, played with rapping relish by Iain “Ewok” Robinson. Darren King shakes out his skirts once again as the hilarious Nurse Nicely, while Peter Court and Bryan Hiles raise laughs aplenty as the two incompetent robbers, Cecil and Claude.
