Maid Marian and The Merry Men

5th-10th December 2022

The town of Nottingham is plagued by the mean Sheriff, who keeps

squeezing the peasants for more and more tax money. Some one needs

to stop her! If only the town could find Robin Hood.

Maid Marian decides that she has had enough and ventures deep into the forest

to look for him and help him overthrow the Sheriff. When she finds Robin things are not quite as his reputation suggests. Robin loves to write songs, bake cakes and compose poems. It looks like it's time for some girl power!

With Marian leading the Merry Men, can they get rid of the evil Sheriff and

her idiot Nephew and make Nottingham a lovely place to live?

Oh Yes, they can (oh no they can’t) !

Written by Kit Hunter and Directed by our very own first-time directors Hannah Burton and Lindsey Kirby, this hilarious new take on the Robin Hood legend stretches preconceptions further than Marian's longbow, and will leave you dancing through the tears of laughter !

Auditions will be held in July so budding outlaws watch this space !
