Worcester Repertory Company’s much-loved annual pantomime returns to The Swan Theatre this festive season with Robin Hood, bringing a talented cast of familiar faces and new performers to the stage for a brand-new family adventure.
The Robin Hood cast includes Connor McKnight-Hill as Robin Hood, Verity Walker as Maid Marian, Nick Wilkes as the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Francesca Alessandra as Little Jen & Dance Captain. Returning to the Worcester Repertory Company are Nathan Blyth as Henrick the Henchman, George Ormerod as Will Scarlet, Dom McChesney as King Richard & Friar Tuck, and Ian Good as Dame Hetty Hood.
Worcester Theatres is proud to announce that this year’s pantomime Robin Hood will be sponsored by two local Worcestershire businesses Three Counties Christmas and HASH.
HASH is a local and independent restaurant located on Chapel Walk in the centre of Worcester City. Providing high-quality breakfast and brunch for those that are not fans of formality. Have a pint, have a cocktail, have a glass of house plonk and enjoy a well-executed meal. Three Counties Christmas are experts in festive lighting and decorative Christmas displays for commercial and residential clients. Specialist designers and the highest quality materials are the perfect recipe to make your Christmas décor unique to your home or business.
Sarah-Jane Morgan, Chief Executive & Artistic Director at Worcester Theatres and Executive Producer of Robin Hood said, “I am delighted to be welcoming both HASH and Three Counties Christmas as our pantomime sponsors this year. It’s wonderful to be supported by local Worcestershire businesses here in Worcester for our production of Robin Hood. With the announcement of our Robin Hood cast, the creative team at Worcester Repertory Company is excited to bring this action-packed pantomime to life on the Swan Theatre stage. We’re thrilled to welcome a mix of returning and new faces, and hope to see the same mix among our audiences too! We can’t wait to bring the magic of panto to Worcester this festive season!”
Ian Good, Director and Scriptwriter of Robin Hood said, “Another year has flown by, and it’s wonderful to see 12 months of planning with Sarah-Jane Morgan and the Swan Theatre team finally come to fruition as we bring the story of one of our national folk heroes, Robin Hood, to the stage. This year, we bring together local talent Nick Wilkes and George Ormerod, new talent Connor McKnight-Hill and Verity Walker, returning talent Nathan Blyth and Dominic McChesney and, of course, our wonderful local dance schools led by Dance Captain Francesca Alessandra. I am so proud that the Swan Theatre traditional pantomime is becoming a local Christmas tradition. I hope you enjoy joining Robin Hood and his gang this year, and I look forward to seeing familiar and new faces in our audience.”
From Sherwood Forest to Worcester Theatres, Robin Hood promises all the traditional mischief, mayhem, and heroic slapstick silliness to light up the Swan Theatre stage – with some surprises thrown in for good measure!
