Pantomime Production: "Robin Hood"

The boys from Sherwood Forest are going to be on the loose in the Repertory Theatre from November 18-25. An adapted and colourful version of "Robin Hood" should prove a hit with all. The pantomime is being produced by David Tinkham, who also wrote the script. Should be a winner.

Maid Maron (Royal van der Werf) pleads for the life of Robin Hood (Richard Bowering), who is being dragged away by guards Bill Stone and Theo Wadsworth. Prince John (Peter Haig) and Lady Joanna (Jenny Lord) don't seem impressed by the impassioned plea

Another scene from the court of Prince John which, this time, includes that villain, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Jack Holmes)
