The Stane Street Players proudly present
A Traditional Family Pantomime

BABES IN THE WOOD
by Andy Gribben

Babes in the Wood, written by local playwright Andy Gribben, is a very funny adaptation of the tale of Robin Hood! What we want to find out is: will Robin Hood save the babes from the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham? Will Maid Marian overcome her slight speech imperfection? Will anyone believe Alan-a-Dale when he sees the blue rabbit? Will Nursie be mugged by man-eating moles or dusted over by deadly bluebells? Will Scarlet…? Well, will he finally understand his role in the pantomime? Probably, after all, “it’s traditional I s’pect”. A real traditional family panto, with some contemporary songs as well as some of the more classic sing along songs! A bit of lively audience participation and several twists in the tale!

Andy Gribben is a very talented writer and Stane Street Players are really happy to be performing one of his productions and happy to have a troupe from the Elizabeth School of Dance to help make our panto fast, fun, furious and one you will want to remember! Hope to see you there!

The performances run on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th January at 7.30pm and on  Saturday 30th and Sunday the 31st at 3.00pm. The Box Office number is 07778 025490 and tickets are £8.00 for all seats.

A traditional show suitable for all the family.
