Synopsis

This pantomime has a good spread of character types that will entertain the audience well.

Peter and Mary, the Babes, have been orphaned and are living with their uncle, their father's brother. The Babes' father was a very wealthy man and on their eighteenth birthdays they will inherit his vast wealth. However, Sir Gerald Hardwick, their wicked uncle, has other ideas, and if he can get rid of the Babes, that wealth comes to him absolutely.

He employs Daisy and Buttercup, the two comics, to help him do the deed. However, they can’t bring themselves to do anything nasty and leave the Babes in the woods.

Floella (our Dame) hatches a plan not only to save the Babes but to try and marry the Squire, who is Maid Marian’s father. Through this web of plans and plotting, Robin Hood and his merry men become embroiled to save the Babes. Needless to say Maid Marian and Robin fall in love in true pantomime style.

But that’s not all, Fairy Bluebell, who weaves her magic through the story also finds love, but who is the lucky man?
