Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood - Theatre Quadra’s Fall, 2019 Production

The Christmas season starts early this year with a rollicking, boisterous pantomime. Theatre Quadra’s production of playwright Ben Crocker’s “Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood” is guaranteed to delight people of all ages. This panto version of a beloved tale is designed to ignite laughs on so many levels. Genders get blended, logic yields to farce, the audience is involved and almost anything can happen.

Adults will enjoy the outrageous double-entendres and the magical talking bunnies will enchant even the smallest kids! Written by “the wittiest and most original writer working in pantomime today”, this classic English panto is fun for all ages. And, prepare to get involved yourself – there will be lots of actor/audience interplay in this fun-filled modern-day pantomime that will have everyone laughing and singing along.

More than any other form of theatre, pantomime brings many of the arts together – as well as singing, dancing and acting you find in all musicals, you’ll also see puppetry, mime, slapstick, vaudeville and, of course, audience participation. The panto tradition was born in ancient Rome, but came of age in 19th Century England. Fittingly, Robin Hood is set not far north of London in Sherwood Forest

Robin Hood is brought to life by some of Quadra’s most talented artists and theatre folk. They include co-directors, Kate Alexandra and Linda Lolacher, both of whom have helmed many spirited productions for Theatre Quadra.

Treat yourself and your kids to some pre-Christmas fun and laughs.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity for family fun! Tickets available at Inspirations and Works of H’Art on Quadra Island, and Music Plant in Campbell River.
