  • Robin Hood – people’s hero or a common thief? You decide in this rollicking, rambunctious tale of the day that Robin Hood came to Southwark.

    Immerse yourself in the ample hospitality of Rosie Bailey, landlady of Southwark’s famous Tabard Inn, transported for your convenience to Southwark Playhouse. Settle down in your favourite corner with an ale or a mulled wine and see Robin Hood’s untold story of derring-do played out…

    It’s 1380 and London is bursting at the seams with foreigners – Norman, Angles and Saxons inhabit every dive, including this one. The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer – despite Robin’s best efforts to reverse the trend. Tempers are frayed.

    Meanwhile, her outspoken politics have gotten Marion into trouble. And as it’s partly Robin’s fault it falls to him do the decent thing. But might this Marion find it just a bit, well, patronising to be rescued?
    With swordplay, songs, sheriffs and satire as sharp as an arrow, The Ballad of Robin Hood guarantees to keep you a-quiver with excitement all evening long.

    The Ballad of Robin Hood is written by Greg Freeman and created by Tacit Theatre, the creators of the ‘riotous, enthusiastic and likeable’ (Financial Times) Canterbury Tales.
