Babes in the Wood Cast

Robin Hood (The Legendary Hero!) Principal Boy. What can one say? Costumed as one would think he’d be!

Fairy Forget-Me-Not (A Spirit of the Forest) Absent-minded and slightly short-sighted! Wears thick glasses or pince-nez; Ethereal make-up with pointed ears?

Marian (Effluvia's Ward) Principal Girl – Drop-dead gorgeous. Simply - and stunningly - dressed in the costume of the period.

Alan-a-Dale (A Merry Minstrel) M or F – Effete “Dandini” character - convinced that he’s the Principal Boy – not Robin!

  

Friar Tuck (A Merry Monk) Lusty, red-cheeked and red-nosed. Stunning Clerical outfit and “tonsured” wig.

  

Will Scarlet (A Merry Marauder) Bit of a rough diamond; fists first, thoughts second. Some Scarlet in his costume.

Little John (A Merry Muddle-Head) Thick as two short planks. Be quite funny if the actor was quite short or very tall.

Heather & Rowan (The Babes) M & F – Older child actors or young adult actors? Again, dressed in the costume of the period.

Nurse Dumpling  (The Babes’ Nanny) And our Dame. Goes by the name of “Desiree”!  Another array of silly outrageous costumes and wigs.

Wolfsbane (The Demon of the Woods) Greenish make-up;

”Spiky” hair; Costume various shades of red – or “forest” colours.

Sloeworm (Wolfsbane’s Henchman) The “Good” Baddie and a bit of a “Daft” character. Selection of silly wigs, pale faced and an array of ludicrous costumes.

Slug (His Other Henchman) The “Bad” Baddie. With added scar and eye-patch? Tries to tough, but isn’t.

 

Effluvia Nightshade (The Wicked Baroness) Icily cold and not the least bit attractive.

Chorus of Forest Demons, Villagers, Fairies, etc.
