About
A DARKNESS HAS FALLEN UPON ENGLAND AND THE CITY OF NOTTINGHAM SUFFERS MORE THAN MOST.
In his brother’s absence cowardly Prince John and his over amorous mother Queen Nellie have the stewardship of the realm but it is the Sheriff of Nottingham that wields the power and he’s not stopping until he has everything his heart desires, money, land and the hand of the fair Maid Marian.
The people of Nottingham scratch a meagre living as the Sheriff increases rents and introduces new taxes for smiling, singing, sniffing and snogging. The dungeons are full and the guards are overworked and underpaid. Plans are being drawn for a castle in the middle of Sherwood Forest. Even the squirrels aren’t safe.
NOTTINGHAM NEEDS A HERO AND ROBIN HOOD IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB.
Join the Deadpan Players for a frolic through the forest as they make their debut at Joseph Rowntree Theatre. Nottingham cowers under the grip of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and only Robin and the Merry Men can save the city and prevent him from marrying the beautiful Maid Marian.
Join our brave heroes Robin, Marian and the Merry Men, as they take up their bows, saddle their horses and set forth to 'Make Nottingham Great Again'. Comedy, slapstick, music and dance all combine to make this a fun-filled frolic for all the family.
CHANGE IS COMING. ROBIN'S READY. THE SHERIFF BETTER WATCH OUT!
All profits from the show will be donated to Candlelighters and The Farming Community Network in memory of Nick Leaf, a fellow Deadpanner and local farmer.
