As its production of Peter Pan opened last night, Rose Theatre has announced next year's Christmas production as Robin Hood. 

It is written by 2023 Olivier Award winner Chris Bush and directed by Elin Schofield (Winner of the UK Theatre Award for Best Director 2022).  

The show will run from Saturday 30 November 2024 until Sunday 5 January 2025 with Press Night on Monday 9 December 2024. The production is now on sale to Rose Membership holders and went on general sale yesterday (30 November) at 12pm. 

Chris Bush said: "Robin Hood is the most enduring and appealing figure from all British folklore. At times like this, when the days are short, the nights are cold, and we often find ourselves with not quite enough to go round, we need figures like Robin to see us through the winter.

"I'm thrilled to bring a fresh twist on this iconic figure to the Rose next Christmas, for a night full of derring-do, festive cheer, and collective endeavour." 

Christopher Haydon, Artistic Director at Rose Theatre said: "It feels like it's always Christmas at the Rose - as we gear up to open this year's extravaganza, Peter Pan, we are also looking forward to next year's show - Robin Hood!

"As ever it will bring professional performers together with our vibrant Rose Youth Theatre to create a show that is joyful, mischievous, and merry." 

Join Robin Hood and his Merry Band for a spectacular festive heist next Christmas!
