'Robin Hood' panto at the Moat Club kicks off Christmas in Naas!

This year’s panto at the Moat in Naas is brought to you by the team behind last year’s sell-out production of The Three Musketeers, is Robin Hood.

This action-packed production has everything you’d expect from a truly great pantomime: thrilling fight scenes, slapstick comedy, loads of jokes, singing and dancing, and a gripping script that gives a new twist to the legend, Robin Hood. Writer Gerard O’Shea has incorporated a theme of inclusion in the script this year so expect stereotypes to be challenged in the most fun way possible.

With the annual Christmas tournament fast approaching, Maid Marian along with the residents of Nottingham are at their wit’s end! The evil Sheriff of Nottingham (Daniel Nolan) is slapping charges on everything! To make matters worse, his hapless henchmen Harry and Marv (Gerard O’Shea and Dermot Campbell), have kidnapped all the children!

Could it be that Robin Hood with his Merry Mob and Merry Minions (our wonderful junior chorus) can save the day by winning the tournament, defeating the sheriff and bringing Christmas home? You’ll just have to come along and cheer them on.

The production team promises that from the moment audience members arrive, they will be immersed in medieval madness. Keep an eye on the Moat Club’s Facebook page for competitions and updates.
