Robin Hood - Jan '27
Intro Evening - 24th September.
Auditions - 1st October.
In this Robin Hood pantomime script, his band of Merry Misfits create a laugh-out-loud panto that hits the bullseye! Back from the crusades, Robin returns to Sherwood to find Nottingham in chaos. The cost of living is sky-high, the Sheriff is greedier than ever, and Maid Marion is leading a rebellion with more fight than Friar Tuck after a bottle of communion wine.
Throw in a magical forest fairy, a haunted castle bedroom, and the hilarious panto dame Mother Hood, you’ve got a full-blown medieval mayhem-fest. Will Guy of Gisbourne get anything right? Will the Sheriff survive Mother Hood nannying his niece and nephew? Will Robin and Marion save the day, or at least the Goose Fair? Packed with puns, slapstick, and pantomime routines, Robin Hood brings Sherwood Forest to glorious, giggling life. A heroic adventure for all ages—full of heart, hilarity, and a lot of tights.

The Little Theatre is a registered charity and is an organisation run entirely by our members. Although we have an executive committee, we rely on all members to assist with the maintenance of the theatre and the staging of each show. Once a member, you will be placed on the rota for front-of-house duties of any show you are not involved with, and may also be asked to spare a couple of hours to help clean the theatre on the Sunday before and after a show – it is quite common to be performing on stage one night and hoovering the auditorium the next morning, but we’re all in this together!! We also have three ‘work sessions’ each summer where members are asked to help at one of the sessions to do small maintenance jobs around the theatre.
There are usually 4 or 5 shows a year, and below is a typical timetable of a year at The Little Theatre.
