The ever-popular Adult Panto by Guildford Fringe Theatre Company is back after 3 years of sell out productions.

Robin’s Wood is your stereotypical pantomime… except for the fact that no children are allowed in, it's full of rudeness and it's in the back room of a pub! So, on reflection, it's nothing like your stereotypical pantomime!

What it does have though is the fact that no children are allowed in, it's full of rudeness and it's in the back room of a pub! What a result!

“I am thrilled to announce bookings are now open for this year’s Adult Panto, one of my favorite productions of the year,” says Nick Wyschna, Artistic Director of Guildford Fringe. “Christmas isn’t just for kids, it’s for big kids too! I love watching the audience’s reaction when they come in to see the Adult Panto. They don’t know quite what to expect but slowly lose all their inhibitions and really embrace the hilarious experience.”

Robin’s Wood is written by West End star Scott Garnham who has appeared in shows such as Les Miserable; Made in Dagenham and Billy Elliot. Whilst following the familiar story line we all know about Robin’s escapades wooing Maid Marion and robbing the rich to give to the poor, this version is anything but traditional. Sizzling, suggestive and significantly saucy banter is in store from Willow W*#K, the forest fairy.

Nick adds, “We are one of the first Fringe Theatre companies outside London committed to paying our actors a set wage rather than just guaranteeing a share of the profits at the end of the production. This has always been my goal and I am delighted that that the first production for this new contract will be Robin’s Wood.”

With rave reviews for the last three years together and sold out shows, the Guildford Fringe Adult Panto is not to be missed. Advanced bookings are advised as tickets are already selling fast, three dates are already sold out.

Robin’s Wood the Adult Panto runs from 1- 31 December at The Back Room of the Star Inn, Quarry Street, Guildford. Evening shows will be at 8pm and Saturday matinées at 3pm. There will be no shows on Sunday’s or on the 24, 25 or 26 December.
