Robin Hood & Babes in
the Wood
Directors Notes
This is Trinity’s fifth pantomime since we revived them in 2010 and
we have chosen Robin hood and Babes in the Wood – an amalgam
of two classic pantomimes. Set in Sherwood around the 13 th
century, it is of course loosely based on a character who may even
have been a Yorkshire lad! You’ll find that we actually try and
house the story somewhere around Kexborough.
As usual we have been challenged in putting this together and
hope you enjoy our efforts. Each year we try to be a little different
with our sets, props and costumes (Oh, yes we do!) - although the
jokes stay the same. This year there is a bird theme and lots of
work with ropes and pulleys – oh and we’ve bought a (working)
smoke machine.
It is yet again the traditional tale of love transcending class and
persecution (interestingly I said that about Dick Whittington last
year and Aladdin and Cinderella in previous years) – and this time
we have the mistreatment of children as an added factor.
Once more, we have adapted a version written over 20 years ago
by Christine and Michael Goodwin and the small, local team in
Penistone and it has been performed a number of times at the
Paramount in Penistone over the years. Our version is different
(really, really different) due to a smaller stage, reduced cast and a
lack of recognized singers and dancers. We’ve tried to keep faith
with the original ideas of a simple family Panto. I tender our
apologies to Christine and Michael for some of the torturous rewrites.

Directors Notes… Continued
Again at Trinity we give people a chance who might not want parts in
the more formal plays we put on – so each year we introduce new
actors. This year we are running again with a chorus of essentially just
children (a learning experience for any director) we have 12 children
with speaking parts – many for the first time.
Within our restrictions and budget we have tried to include some
“special” effects each year. I hope you enjoy them. Please feel free
to join in with all of the audience participation sections and make this
as pleasurable an experience as it has been for the cast and crew who
have been working hard for some weeks.
For me the highlights to look out for are the Merry Men’s fight (we
chose our clumsiest actors for this) and the Sheriff’s hawk! Enjoy it –
and if you do, please feel free to tell others that we are on over two
weekends – otherwise, say nowt!
