Relaxed and BSL Interpreted Performance
Our Relaxed Performance features a casual approach to audience noise and movement whilst the house lights remain lit. Some technical elements of the show may be altered such as quieter music, reduced surprising effects, and reduced strobe lighting and pyrotechnics.
There will be a BSL interpreter who interprets the dialogue spoken on stage as it is being performed. They will stand off to the side of the stage so the action on stage is fully visible.

About the show
The panto that hits the bullseye!
Prepare to be transported to a world of magic, mischief, and mayhem as the arrow-shooting hero, Robin Hood, and his band of Merry Men take on the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham.
Street dance sensations Ashley Banjo & Diversity will lead this action-packed pantomime starring as Robin Hood & The Merry Men. Joining Diversity is much loved comedian and ventriloquist Max Fulham who will be returning to Southampton to play Will Scarlett.
With stunning scenery and dazzling costumes from The London Palladium, Robin Hood promises all the ingredients of a perfect pantomime: laugh-out-loud comedy, bundles of audience participation, astonishing special effects, and plenty of boos and hisses.
Packed with action, adventure, and a generous dose of glitz and glamour, Robin Hood is the ultimate sheriff-busting pantomime extravaganza.
