Following the sell out success of its first ever in-house production, Treasure Island, The Hawth is thrilled to announce that Summer 2021 will see a return to producing high quality, family-friendly performances at the Theatre. Director Sarah Slator returns to bring to life a brand new production based on the traditional tales of the outlaw of Sherwood Forest, ROBIN HOOD. This contemporary retelling of the legend will feature live music and song along with stage fights galore to delight, engage and entertain all ages.
Be a part of it!

Dave Watmore, The Hawth General Manager said, “After an incredibly difficult year for the theatres, and the entire world it is an absolute joy to see live performances coming back to venues across the country, including The Hawth. It is even more exciting to have the chance to build on the success we experienced with Treasure Island last year, with our second in-house show.
I know audiences will be looking forward to getting back to the theatre and we cannot wait to welcome them. We’ll be following all government Covid guidelines for rehearsals and performances so whether you’re thinking of becoming part of the show’s cast or coming along to enjoy a performance, you can relax and just enjoy the live experience we’ve all missed so much.”
