Robin Hood pantomime at Greenwich Theatre to star David Breeds

David Breeds will take up the titular role in Greenwich Theatre’s 2022 pantomime production of Robin Hood.

With previous productions securing several Best Pantomime Offie Award nominations and wins, the Greenwich Theatre pantomime makes a festive comeback this year.

Unable to stage their usual seasonal show in 2020 and having to cut their run short in 2021 due to the pandemic, the venue’s take on the classic tale of Robin Hood will run from Thursday, 24 November 2022 – Sunday, 8 January 2023.

Greenwich Theatre’s 2022 pantomime boasts an enviable cast; featuring some familiar faces and lots of fresh new talent with David Breeds (Dear Evan Hansen, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) starring in the titular role.

Joining him are Anthony Spargo, Amy Bastani, David Breeds, Martin Johnston, Louise Cielecki, Phil Sealey, Sam Rowe and Millen Scrivener.

Artistic Director James Haddrell shares: “We are incredibly excited to see Anthony Spargo – everyone’s favourite (and award-nominated!) villain – stepping into the role of writer as well as commanding the stage as the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham.

“We are also delighted to welcome back some other legendary old faces, including Martin Johnston as Friar Tuck and musical director Steve Markwick with his merry band (literally), alongside a company of amazing new talent, led by director Matt Aston.”

This year’s panto writer and resident villain Anthony Spargo adds: “Having first performed in the Greenwich pantomime eleven years ago as villain, I am absolutely delighted to be taking on the role of writer this year. (Oh yes I am!)

“Robin Hood is the story of struggle over adversity, strength through numbers, resilience in the face of tyranny. Themes that seem rather pertinent in the current climate.”
