Me & Robin Hood

Date: Wednesday, Oct 2 2019 - Saturday, Oct 5 2019
Venue: Tobacco Factory Theatres: Spielman Theatre

Hugh Hughes presents Shôn Dale-Jones in a thoughtful and engaging tale about inequality, myths and taking control of your own story.

Me & Robin Hood follows on from The Duke in a trilogy of shows questioning the value of art and the power of story.

“I love Robin Hood. We’ve been best mates for over 40 years – ever since I met him as a seven year old boy in autumn 1975. Recently, we’ve spent a lot more time discussing the state of the world.

“He is 100% convinced that the main reason for the recent turmoil is down to the growing gap between the rich and poor. Robin says that money is a fiction that relies on mutual trust and that we can change the story of money.

“This show is his idea. He says it’s the only thing I can do if I want to make the world a better place. And, like Robin says, we can definitely do better than we’re doing at the moment.”

The show seeks to raise money for Street Child United, a charity using the power of sport to change the way the world negatively sees and treats street-connected children. Donations will be welcome at the end of each performance.

Oct 2-5, 8pm, from £12. Ages 12+. For more info, visit www.tobaccofactorytheatres.com/shows/me-robin-hood
