Robin Hood: Prince of Thorngumbald
Leave the kids at home for a festive night out of live music, lawless theatre and riotous comedy
Written and directed by Paul Smith
Chosen by You
The late-night panto where anything can happen is back with a rock’n’roll take on the hotshot hero.
Marc Graham returns as Hull’s loudest panto dame, this time playing nun-on-the-run, Sister Skeg.
She’s found her calling sharing the riches that Robin and his apprentice, Marian, have plundered for the people of Hull.
And in a jubilee year of high taxes and low wages, the layabout King John’s fortune is ripe for the taking.
But the Sheriff of Cottingham is hot on their heels and determined to bring the gang to justice.
Now in its 11th year our alternative panto is a homegrown hit that sold-out in record time in 2021.
This year’s story was chosen by our audience last Christmas and there will be another public vote this year.
Catch us down Humber Street this December to join the gang and experience Hull’s most anarchic Christmas night out.
