Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood
12-14 and 18-20 January 2018.

Join Robin Hood and his Merry Men as they search the forest to rescue the Babes from the evil Sheriff of Nottingham.

Nurse Norah the pantomime dame doubles as their school teacher. Her lessons are sure to be much more fun than any class you've been in.

Together with Maid Marian and a large supporting cast and chorus, this will be another colourful and spectacular show for all the family to look forward to. You can be one of Robin's Gang too.

The leaflet is available for download here and you can see photos from our 2009 show here

The show also requires two pairs of children, probably aged 8-12, to play the children who are the central characters in the story, with each of them appearing in half of the performances. These are open auditions, but require advance reg

About the Theatre

The Spotlight Theatre has a comfortable auditorium seating nearly 500. Formerly Broxbourne Civic Hall, you'll find it beside the car park near the junction of Hoddesdon High Street and Cock Lane.
