Thursday 25 July: The Pantaloons presents Robin Hood by Mark Hayward

Join utter legends Robin, Marian and the Merry Men in Sherwood Forest for a hilariously adventurous take on the timeless tales of everyone’s favourite archer.

Pernicious Prince John and the shifty Sheriff of Nottingham have hatched a plan to put a stop to Robin Hood’s charitable crime spree once and for all. Can they outwit the outlaw? Or will Robin hit the target once again?

Find out in The Pantaloons’ original take on the classic tales and characters featuring live music and audience interaction!.

Thursday 29 August: The Pantaloons presents The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare

Sir John Falstaff, everyone’s favourite Shakespearean sleazeball, has fallen on hard times. In order to fix his finances he plans to seduce the wives of two wealthy merchants. But, wise to his wily ways, the ladies take the opportunity to punish Falstaff by playing a series of hilarious tricks on the nincompoop knight.

Expect silly slapstick, abundant anachronisms and memorable music nestled amongst Shakespeare’s poignant poetry as the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons put their own innovative and interactive spin on this classic comedy.

Tickets for all performances cost £15 adult and £9 child. Buy them online from The Pantaloons website.

Tickets are also available at the venue, on the night of the performance.
