Returning to JHISS in response to popular demand, this powerful performance takes us back to 1970s Belfast, where young Danielle navigates a life as dangerous at home as it is in the streets. A story packed with tears, laughter and heart. ‘Becoming Marvellous’ is a triumph in survival and resilience.

Robin Hood   

Written by Stephen Beggs

A bullseye of a panto!

With the dastardly Sheriff in his castle cooking up evil plans, only one band of heroes can stop him! It’s time for the legendary Robin Hood, the fearless Maid Marian, and their hilariously hopeless merry band to rise to the challenge. But will they save the day… or will the wicked Sheriff have the last laugh?

Step into Sher-you-wood Forest, where mischief, magic, and mayhem are always in season! This brand-new pantomime reimagines the classic tale with a fresh, fun-filled twist. Prepare for laugh-out-loud comedy, daring sword fights, spectacular songs, dazzling sets and costumes, and heaps of audience participation that will leave everyone cheering (and booing!) for more.

Will Robin win Marian’s heart? Will the Sheriff finally get what’s coming to him? There’s only one way to find out…

So gather your merry band of friends and family, don your green tights (optional—but encouraged!), and prepare to be swept away on a thrilling, side-splitting journey into the heart of Sher-you-wood Forest.

Book now – before the Sheriff taxes all the tickets!
