Robin Hood and Maid Marian

The award-winning Plested Brown and Wilsher return with another #NewburyPanto adventure with Robin Hood and Maid Marian, expect plenty of mischief, mayhem and merry-making! 

Step into the magical forest of Newburyshire and join our swashbuckling hero Robin and his band of merry outlaws.

The awful Sheriff of Newburyshire has been in power for 14 long years, persecuting the poor, rewarding the rich and eating the local swans. But Robin, after a daring stand-off at the roundabout named in his honour, is feeling deflated. Will he ever defeat the evil Sheriff before he and his merry band are locked up for good? Or will (equally swashbuckling) Marian with her smarty-pants brain, kick-ass moves and a pair of fabulous shoes outwit the dastardly Sheriff? Enjoy toe-tapping songs through the decades and plenty of jokes that’ll have you bowing with laughter.
