and the Major Oak

Sat 25 Mar – Sat 8 Apr, 2023 Archive
Our big main house family show for the Easter period will be a brand-new adaptation of the classic and much-loved Sherwood Forest tale, Robin Hood and The Major Oak

For Easter 2023, join Robin, Tuck, Marian, Little John and their Sherwood Forest friends (and foes) for a thrilling new adventure: Robin Hood and The Major Oak, a merry new adaptation by Deborah McAndrew based on the classic, much-loved story.

When the Sheriff of Nottingham hears an ancient prophecy, he is sure he can defeat Robin Hood once and for all. Now the merry band must defend their leader, the legend, and the forest itself!

Robin Hood and The Major Oak follows on from previous Derby Theatre smash-hit family shows and will be a high-energy, hilarious production featuring live music and a talented company of actor-musicians, Deaf, hearing and interpreting actors. This family-friendly production promises to be bang on target for audiences of all ages looking to embark on a spectacular theatrical journey Sherwood Forest-style.
