Be prepared to be immersed in an ancient forest and a castle from the 11th century, as well as a community drenched in conspiracy and exploitation. While the Sheriff seeks to exploit the community, he struggles to blame others for his behaviour. In contrast, Robin Hood, works to support the community in the face of evil government. But can Robin out-shoot his competitors in both the archery and the bureaucracy to save the day?

As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, star actor Garry Essendine’s colourful life is in danger of spiralling out of control. Engulfed by an escalating identity crisis as his many and various relationships compete for his attention, Garry’s few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching.
Noel Coward’s scintillating witty play is a giddy and surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness.
