The much-anticipated show will run from 19 to 22 of February at the Festival Drayton Centre, promising a fun-filled experience for all ages. Written and directed by Susie Hayhurst and performed by local actors, 'Robin Hood' will bring the legendary hero and his merry band of outlaws to life in true pantomime fashion, with plenty of audience interaction, catchy songs arranged by Matt Baker and some unexpected twists. 

The production is set to delight families, children, and panto enthusiasts and for the first time ever, a competition was held to design the advertising. The talented artist, Eden José wowed the society with her original design and she will be a guest of honour with a family ticket to the opening performance.

Tickets for the show are on sale now and are expected to sell quickly, so early booking is highly recommended. Whether you’re a first-time theatre-goer or a long-time fan of MDAODS, this year’s pantomime is sure to offer a fantastic night out for all.
