A TONGUE-in-cheek interpretation of Robin Hood will be presented by the Bendigo Theatre Company over two weekends in January.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by BTC life member Vern Wall as a pantomime version of the classic folk tale, the production will feature a large ensemble of local talent including Jade Cuskelly as Robin Hood, Alannah Warren as Maid Marion and Ryan Foxlow as The Sheriff of Nottingham.<\/p>\n

Mr Wall said the “full on” preparations for the show started in the middle of October and will continue until just days before the opening night.<\/p>\n

“We have rehearsals on Thursday nights between 7 and 10pm and Sundays from 12 to 4pm,” he said.<\/p>\n

“For some of us, we’re also doing set building on Wednesdays and Saturday mornings.”<\/p>\n

He said the comic element of the production draws from “a lifetime of really bad jokes that you try and interweave amongst it all.”<\/p>\n

“You get a lot of groans from the audience,” he said.<\/p>\n

“There will be sight gags – cream pie in the face and funny running around type gags, plus a lot of sound effect gags.<\/p>\n

“It’s quite a bit of that different layered humour. What the kids laugh at will be a little bit different to what the adults laugh at.”<\/p>\n

Robin Hood – A Pantomime will be performed at the Bendigo Theatre Company Arts Shed in Allingham Street Golden Square from Thursday 9 January to Sunday 12 January, followed by Thursday 16 January to Sunday 19 January.<\/p>\n
