Robin Hood on stage at Joburg Theatre
Janice Honeyman's brand new pantomime adventure, Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood, will hit the stage at Joburg Theatre in November.
The plot combines the babes-lost-in-the-forest story with the Robin Hood legend.
The young children, Hansel and Gretel, come to visit their uncle, the Sheriff of Nottingham, little suspecting that he is plotting their demise. But never fear, help is at hand - in the shape of Robin and his Merry Men, plus Maid Marian and the Spirit of the Forest!
Playing the role of Robin in his first Joburg Theatre pantomime is Izak Davel, best known to TV viewers as Isidingo's arrogant Bradley Haines, and whose hit recordings include Verlei My, Is Jy In Of Is Jy Uit and Vreesloos.

Much loved panto star Desmond Dube returns to Joburg Theatre to play the jovial Friar Tuck, Idols finalist Bongi Mthombeni features in his fifth Joburg Theatre pantomime as the dandy Will Scarlet and leading lady of South African musical theatre, Kate Normington, will surely be wildly comic as Silly Sylviana, the Spirit of the Forest!
"It's an exciting year for us when Janice Honeyman writes a brand new pantomime script," says Bernard Jay, Executive Producer of the panto.
He added that they don't even know exactly what to expect from the panto, saying that is the magic of Janice Honeyman's productions.
"We don't know exactly what to expect until the last minute, but we do know it will be full of her magical flair for story-telling, spectacular special effects and zany comedy," he said.
