Cast announced for The True Adventures of Marian and Robin Hood at The Barn Theatre

Casting has been announced for The Barn Theatre’s upcoming Christmas production The True Adventures of Marian and Robin Hood.

The Cirencester is offering up a new twist on the classic tale of Robin Hood this festive period as part of its new season.

Penned by Alan Pollock, the production runs 21 November 2022 – 6 January 2023.

The full cast of The True Adventures of Marian and Robin Hood are Lauren Ava-Thomas (2020 Graduate) as Little John / Ensemble, Theo Diedrick (2022 Graduate, Runesical) as Will Scarlett / Ensemble, Catrin Mai Edwards (2020 Graduate) as Green Man / Ensemble, Rachel Hammond (Swallows and Amazons) as Alan a Dale / Ensemble, Izzy Neish (2020 Graduate, Rapture) as Marian / Ensemble, Emily Panes (The Brothers Grimm Present: Cinderella) as Much the Miller / King Richard / Ensemble, Ethan Reid (2022 Graduate) as Odo (Sheriff of Nottingham) / Ensemble and Alex White (The Comedy of Errors) as Robin Hood / Ensemble.

The new take on the classic tale, which rounds out the theatre’s acclaimed 2022 Built by Barn Season, follows archer, swordswoman, and trick rider Marian as she joins forces with her childhood nemesis Robin to thwart her hapless husband-to-be, the Sherriff of Nottingham, and overthrow his evil protector, Prince John.

The True Adventures of Marian and Robin Hood has it all – magic, acrobatics, Normans with dodgy haircuts – as the eponymous duo bury the hatchet and join forces to thwart the hapless Sherriff and overthrow his evil protector Prince John…. the wickedest man alive…

Francesca Goodridge, who directed last year’s production, will return as Director and Movement Director. The creative team will also include Jessica Brigham as Lighting Designer, Harry Smith as Sound Designer and Kaitlin Howard as Fight Director.
