HOOD - The Panto!
Robin and his friend Flora Mopp find themselves transported from a grey future where magic has been forgotten to a bright new world in pursuit of a book of ancient fairy tales. However, all is not sunny in the magic kingdom. In the forest, a girl in a red hooded cloak and sparkly red shoes is being followed closely by a big, bad, wolf.
During this very funny and fast paced adventure, our chums meet well loved characters from pantomime, fairy tales and 1980s sci-fi and discover the magic of music and laughter, friendship and love, just in time for Christmas. Suitable for a large cast with a wide age range.
