Robyn Hood

Fidget Theatre

Fidget Theatre reinvented the classic folk tale for family audiences in 2025.

We loved this delightful new musical show for children and their grown-ups about community, adventure and becoming a hero.

Robyn is a little girl in the big city. On a small patch of green land, she builds herself a magical den where she dreams big dreams of woodland adventures… until the developers move in. So Robyn retreats into her fantastical forest world with a brave band of outlaws and prepares to teach the Sheriff a lesson – and become the real-world hero that everyone needs.

Fidget Theatre’s magical show brought a new spin to the classic story, with playful storytelling, live music, friendly audience participation and integrated audio description.
