Robin Hood
Overview
Northern Ballet
Robin Hood
Friendship, bravery and fighting for fairness lead the way in this adventurous retelling of Robin Hood.
Robin Hood and Maid Marian try to outwit the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham, facing unexpected challenges and discovering that kindness and determination can be just as powerful as strength. Filled with friendship and courage, this heartwarming tale shows how working together and standing up for what’s right can make a real difference.
This vibrant new production combines engaging storytelling, beautiful ballet, recognisable
characters and live music, making it the perfect introduction to the magic of live performance for your little ones.
With sell-out performances and a series of hugely successful CBeebies TV adaptations, Northern Ballet’s productions for children continue to delight audiences year after year.
