ROBIN HOOD & BABES IN THE WOOD

Oh yes it was! This was a smashing pantomime full of all the necessary ingredients of song,dance and comedy. The casting was extremely strong, full of very experienced performers in all kinds of productions. You could hardly hope to get a better couple than Pippa Slater (Robin Hood) and Samantha Hayward (Maid Marion) they sang and acted with great style to the superb backing tracks accompaniment. Nick Wray was a very convincing evil Sheriff who was well thwarted by the charming Fairy Gliss (Rose Newton Van Den Berg). They do not come better than Paul Wilkinson (Nanny Bunions) when it comes to Dame parts, his enjoyment in the role was self evident. Graeme Hemingway (Dan) the Sheriff's co conspiritor in plotting to kill the babes was most likeable but could not carry out the deadly deed. The two babes Jane (Jennifer Waring) and John (Eleanor Shearon) were both charming and confident. Chris Littler-Moore (Billy Hood) gave a fantastic performance he was outstanding even amongst such a brilliant cast.
