The creators of ‘Sleeping Beauty and The Beast’ return to Battersea Arts Centre (BAC) with a brand new panto mash-up for another annual Christmas time treat. Featuring a new cast and a host of exciting surprises, ‘Little Red Robin Hood’ will be full of original songs, live music and interaction for all ages.
DISASTER! The wicked Sheriff of Nottingham has captured the famous outlaw Robin Hood! Who is going to stand up for the people now? Surely not a tiny girl in a red riding hood? Sometimes the true hero is the person you least expect, as Red Riding Hood heads into the forest to defeat the Sheriff, find her Grandma and discover her destiny.
‘Little Red Robin Hood’ is the 5th original madcap adventure created by The Sleeping Trees, now a regular favourite for families at Battersea Arts Centre during the festive season. This year, a brand new cast will bring the enchanting world of Sherwood Forest to life; with all the familiar (and unexpected!) inhabitants played by Simone Cornelius, Miya James and Sam Rix.
Director Kerry Frampton and Musical Director and co-writer Ben Hales once again team up with The Sleeping Trees’ James Dunnell-Smith, John Woodburn and Joshua George Smith to bring their own multi-verse of familiar fairytale characters to life with a refreshing and hilarious twist.
Providing a warm welcome for everyone is especially important this time of year, and BAC offers a range of options to make sure as many people as possible can visit. As well as every performance being Relaxed, there will be many Pay What You Can performances available throughout the run, and there are also Sensory Adaptive performances (9 December at 1pm, 15 December at 7pm) an Audio Described performance (17 December at 2pm), and Familiarisation tours (9 December – 18 December and by request).
Sleeping Trees are a multi-award winning trio who create live and digital surreal, physical and fast-paced comedy. Their 2020 digitally streamed panto, ‘The Legend of Moby Dick Whittington’, won the Off West End Award for Best Family Show and was recommended by The New York Times.
