ACCLAIMED masters of family-friendly theatre Ophaboom return to Torrington with their raucous, swashbuckling rendition of the Robin Hood legend.
Combining masks, lyrical music, knockabout physical comedy and ever-changing topical references, Ophaboom?s unique performance style wittily updates this classic story.
There?s a completely fresh take on some familiar characters: Robin himself may be a hero and eco-warrior, but displays a streak of vanity that helps the feisty Maid Marian twist him round her little finger.
The Sheriff is undoubtedly a villain that audiences love to hate, but suffers the flaws of a more famous tragic figure, with his Macbeth-like reliance on prophesies and spirits.
Ophaboom?s Robin Hood is enlivened with exquisite mediaeval music and singing.
