Bridgnorth pantomime combines two tales in one


A theatre's latest production has proved to be a big hit with audiences from the night it opened.
The Theatre on the Steps is staging a panto that combines the well known stories of Robin Hood and Babes in the Wood.
It opened at the Bridgnorth theatre last Saturday and Nicola Broster saw the very first show on Saturday afternoon.
She said: "The theatre put on a fantastic show and it's a great pantomime with lots of laughs along the way. The cast had obviously been working really hard and on their first show I couldn't have been more impressed."
The show features many of The Theatre on the Steps' favourite actors, including John Muxworthy in his 16th consecutive appearance as the Dame.
Rachel Reddihough, who plays Robin Hood, has chalked up 17 pantomime performances and Luke Edwards is in his 15th year of panto.
Playing the Sheriff of Nottingham is Antony Edwards, who has appeared in numerous BBC TV plays.
The show runs until the January 30 with Saturday and Sunday matinees.
