Babes in the Wood
By Paul Reakes
Tuesday 24th - Saturday 28th November 1992
The wicked Sheriff of Nottingham is planning horrible deeds including robbing the poor and poisoning his niece and nephew - the babes - so he can inherit their fortune. However, Robin Hood and his Merry Men have other plans, not least the rescue of Maid Marian, despite the interference of the wicked witch, Nausea Nightshade; and a mysterious strangers saves the day when it seems Nausea might triumph. Colourful characters, such as the madcap Nurse Nitwit and the slapstick duo, Mole and Wart, ensure plenty of laughs for all ages.
