Roger Hall's ROBIN HOOD THE PANTOMIME Plays Circa Theatre This Holiday Season

Roger Hall's ROBIN HOOD THE PANTOMIME, directed by Susan Wilson, with music & lyrics by Paul Jenden & Michael Nicholas Williams, musical direction by Jane Keller & Oliver Devlin and choreography by Sacha Copland will run today 21 Nov - 22 Dec 2015 at Circa Theatre.

There he is! Oh, no he isn't. Oh, yes he is!! A pantomime for one and all, it's Robin Hood by Roger Hall! Music, Laughter, Jokes galore... it's Christmas time again at Circa and what better way to get into the festive spirit than celebrating with Robin Hood and his gang. Join in the fun and festivities -- boo and hiss the baddies, cheer on the goodies and dance the pantomime whirl.

Everyone's looking for Robin Hood. After upsetting the evil Sheriff's plans by winning the archery prize in a spectacular show of bowmanship, Robin has been accused of a trumped-up charge and declared an outlaw. Moving stealthily around the Town Belt, and taking refuge in Tinakori Hill, Robin and his friends set out to restore good to the kingdom, robbing the rich to feed the poor, and raising the ransom for King Richard - that is of course, when Robin isn't mooning over the beautiful and mysterious Maid Marian.

Will the flag debate abate or will there be an addendum to the referendum? Has Marian met her match made in heaven or will the dastardly Sheriff joust his way into her heart? And who will be the true hero in Wellywood?

Perennial panto favourite, Gavin Rutherford, reprising his role as Mother Hood, heads an all star cast including Simon Leary, Jane Waddell, Jonathan Morgan and Nick Dunbar, as well as exciting panto newcomers, Acushla-Tara Sutton and Andrew Paterson.

Written by award winning, Roger Hall, with songs by Paul Jenden and Michael Nicholas Williams, direction by Susan Wilson, musical direction from Jane Keller and Oliver Devlin and choreography by Sacha Copland, this well-loved Welly tradition will leave you smiling for days.
