You think you know the legend.

You think you know who lives beneath the hood.

How wrong you are, pilgrim.

This fast-paced, rip-roaring adventure tells the story behind Robin Hood – how the myth was forged.

When Much the Miller is taken to the gallows for refusing to pay the Sheriff’s taxes, his plucky young daughter escapes to the forest. There, she discovers a band of outlaws as bent on revenge against the Sheriff as she is.

What could go wrong… or could it all go very right?

Expect flying arrows, flashes of green tights, daring rescues and ruthless reprisals. Robbing from the rich to give to the poor. Royalty and outlaws, resistance and ridicule. Forests and palaces. Magic tested against metal. Familiar faces. And twists aplenty.

From the writer behind cult West End musical ‘The Grinning Man’, the play ‘49 Donkeys Hanged’ and Kneehigh hits such as ‘Hansel & Gretel’, Carl Grose’s thrilling take on a classic tale is not to be missed this summer.
