Robin Hood and the Christmas Heist

By Chris Bush and Matt Winkworth

As winter's first snow falls, there's not much Christmas cheer in Sherwood Forest. Cupboards are bare, the nights are cold, and the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham squeezes his citizens for every penny they're worth.

But deep in the forest, in the heart of the Major Oak, Robin and Marian are plotting an audacious scheme to bring some festive joy to all…

This charming retelling of the Robin Hood legend by Chris Bush, with music by Matt Winkworth, was first performed at Rose Theatre, Kingston upon Thames, in 2024, directed by Elin Schofield.

Robin Hood and the Christmas Heist was commissioned by the Rose to be performed by members of the Rose Youth Theatre alongside four professional adult actors – and offers a wealth of opportunities for other theatre companies who want a merry Christmas classic that hits the target.

Press Quotes

'An enjoyable political bite... Bush's script gives room for both pithy asides and lessons. The funniest material isn't just reserved for the adult actors, either'

Time Out

'Ambitious and politically engaged... a witty, wryly political take featuring some lovely, lilting tunes... Bush's script plunders every carol and Christmas song you can think of... generates a warm, festive glow'

The Stage

'Very satisfying... really engages the audience... the original songs are not only gorgeous to listen to, but really immerse us in the world of the show... A fun and festive night out for all the family, a show that really hits the bullseye'

West End Best Friend

'Magical and magnificent... something very special... an inspirational tale and feel-good show for all'
