Cast announced for new drag retelling of Robin Hood, OUTLAWED
OUTLAWED, a drag and cabaret retelling of the story of Robin Hood, created by Nottingham-based independent theatre company and arts charity Nonsuch Studios, embarks on its first ever national tour this October, with casting revealed.
Stealing from the rich to give to the poor has never been so sexy…
After selling out its run in Nottingham back in 2023, audiences across the country are now invited to The Major Oak, the hottest speakeasy in all of Sherwood Forest, where Robin and their dangerously talented gang of Merry Fools are set to throw a party so big that even the Sheriff wants an invite.
Featuring an eclectic soundtrack of lipsyncable pop bangers, OUTLAWED is a radical, queer, madcap cabaret retelling of the age-old English hero’s story - think RuPaul and Liza Minnelli storm a medieval tavern and start a revolution.
The fiercest night of burlesque, drag and comedy the middle ages can muster.
Now, as excitement grows, Nonsuch Studios has announced a brand new cast of young stars and spectacular drag kings and queens to take on the iconic roles, with AK Golding (Hamlet, National Theatre) as the sensually villainous Sheriff of Nottingham; The Stage Debut Award 2025 Best Actor in a Musical nominee (The Mad Ones, The Other Place), Dora Gee as Maid Marian; returning to don the pencil moustache and famous bycocket (Bycocket? I hardly know it!) is Hunter Manning, who in his drag king persona, Hunter Gatherer; and taking on the role of Friar Tuck’ed is international cabaret and circus drag artist Lucinda B.Hind.
Nonsuch Studios Artistic Director and CEO, Edward Boott, said: “This is an incredibly exciting moment for Nonsuch Studios to return to touring and visiting so many amazing and illustrious venues. We can't wait to reconnect with audiences across the country and share OUTLAWED in all its outrageousness!“
Described as what happens when you give a bow and arrow to a burlesque performer and just let them cook, the OUTLAWED tour begins in Lancaster on 8 October before visiting Manchester, Wolverhampton, Harrogate, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Enfield, Colchester, Hull, Sunderland, and concluding in Newcastle on 24 October.
