'Robin Hood' Outdoor Theatre

About us

Award-winning outdoor theatre company, Illyria, bring their fabulous open-air production of 'Robin Hood' to The Old Tennis lawn at Pentillie Castle, this summer.
We invite you to lay down a rug, admire the far-reaching views across the Tamar Valley, and enjoy those extra hours of summer sunshine at this family friendly event.

Synopsis
From the earliest ballads of Robin Hood, some pre-dating Chaucer, Illyria has created a fast-moving, fun-packed family show.

While good King Richard is away fighting the crusades, his friend Robert Fitzooth, under the assumed name of Robin Hood, resolves to relieve corrupt landowners of their wealth, to ruin the inept Sheriff of Nottingham and to do all he can to prevent the power-mad Prince John from seizing the throne.

Featuring tales of camaraderie, good against evil, swashbuckling action and riotous comedy, this remains one of Illyria's most popular ever titles. You'll definitely laugh, you'll probably cry - and if you're not cheering at the archery competition involving the entire audience then you must be dead!
