The adventures of Sherwood Forest’s man in tights hit the stage this weekend

The adventures of Sherwood Forest’s man in tights will be on show this month with a special production set to hit the stage.

The Australind Senior Citizens Centre is excited to welcome the community to its performance of Robin Hood and His Sorry Men, an original comedy based on the legend of England’s most colourful outlaw.

Written, directed and featuring the performances of Eileen Depiazzi, the show promises to be a fun evening of entertainment for all.

Ken Sabourne will don the tights to play Robin Hood, with an extensive cast list of Australind seniors on stage alongside him.

Stephen King will play the devious Prince John, Ian Farrell will take the role of the jovial Friar Tuck and the show also features Maureen Slater as Sir Guy, Glenn Donnelly as Little John, Marissa Pawlowski as the Town Crier, Paula Farrell as Lady Winifred, Lorna Hardless as King Richard, Shani Sanderson as the Queen, Kay Hoare as Will Scarlet, Marilyn Selleck as Alan-A-Dale, Ross McDonald as the Sheriff and Ms Depiazzi will take the role of Maid Marion.

With Lyndon Edwards on piano, Kevin Moulden the sound technician and Robyn Sabourne the stage manager and even more filling other roles in the show, it’s set to be a jam packed performance.

Ms Depiazzi said they were reviving the show from when it was last performed in 2011, though it still promised to be just as much fun for the audience.

“It’s good to give us seniors something to do — it helps keep us off the streets,” she joked.

“It’ll be a pleasant afternoon of fun comedy, and a lovely afternoon tea.”

Four shows will be held at the Australind Senior Citizens Centre, each starting at 1.30pm.

The first takes place on June 14 followed by one on June 15, one on June 21 and a final show on June 22.
