An Immersive Adventure.
Sherwood Forest is a happy home for Robin Hood and his animal friends. But when the Sheriff of Nottingham announces plans to cut the forest down, it’s not just the trees at risk – it’s the homes and lives of the animals who depend on it.
Robin Hood and his woodland companions must work together, with the help of the audience, to outwit the Sheriff and save Sherwood for future generations.
This 40-minute immersive theatre experience is packed with playful panto moments, larger-than-life puppets, and plenty of audience interaction. Robin Hood & his Animal Friends is a joyful, family-friendly show celebrating teamwork, bravery, and care for our environment.
Produced by Wise Owl Theatre Company
Devised by Matthew Forbes and Christopher Brookes
With Music by David Gilbrook
