Robin Hood

Pièce en anglais

On December 7th, Geordie Productions will open its Mainstage season with a large scale productions the World Première of Paula Wing’s new adaptation of Robin Hood.

A classic story that speaks to our time: An outlaw who breaks the law to be true to a higher authority: A former rich man who robs from the rich to give to the poor. Robin Hood and his band make their own rules, and live by their own code because in the wilds of Sherwood Forest the most important things are friendship and honour, justice, adventure and hanging out with your friends. Join Robin, Little John, Friar Tuck, Maid Marion and the cast of Merry Men for sword fights, quarterstaff battles and great adventure. See you at the trysting tree…

“The story of Robin Hood has the great ability to speak about the lack of fairness in the world, while giving us a hero, or a group of heroes, a swashbuckling adventure and a tale of friendship. I wanted all those great elements in the story to keep the level of fun really high but also we could still feel really good about making a comment about what is going on today. This is a big, beautiful production with an amazing set design, period costumes, zany antics and silliness, comedy in the forest, complete with sword fights and quarterstaff. The real beauty of this adventure is bringing the already well known characters to life with an equally brilliant cast”
