Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood

 I don’t think I have ever seen a production on such a small stage . The company did very well to tell this tale with such limited space.

Scenery was minimal but the back cloths were delightful , particularly for the market scene .

Costumes were adequate , though Rob Ives as Nurse had fabulous outfits & wigs .

Generally this is a very young inexperienced cast , with the exception of a couple of principals played by adults .

I would have preferred to hear the young chorus actually singing their songs rather than using CDs/ Tapes of professionals. Their routines were simple but clearly enjoyed by the audience .

I was particularly impressed with the number using a ukulele which was lovely. ( If it was a different instrument , apologies)

Pointers to consider for future productions :

Principals were very static;

Diction & volumes need addressing;

Pauses were too long - and Smile !

All in all the audience enjoyed the performance .

Well done to all involved .
