The Dukes in Lancaster is moving its annual Christmas show back into the main stage venue for the first time in 11 years.
Robin Hood will run from November 24 to December 31, extending the usual festive run by a week and adding 6,045 seats for the run.
The full cast are Althea Burey (The Gruffalo’s Child) as Marian, Jacob Butler (It’s A Sin) as Robin, Amy Drake (One Man Two Guvnors) as Tuck, Helen Longworth (The Archers) as Ellen-A-Dale and Lucas Cheong Smith (D’Eon) as Sherrif.
In this homegrown version of the story, Marian becomes the most successful sheep farmer in Bowland's forest, but while King Richard is away, the Sheriff of Nottingham ventures north to Lancaster. He plans to seize the forest and build a gated community! He also plots to capture the Pendle Witches and exploit their sorcery.
