Bristol Old Vic and the Wardrobe Ensemble today released images from inside (and outside) the rehearsal room for their Christmas adventure, Robin Hood: Legend of the Forgotten Forest.

The rehearsals for this production have had to be even more innovative than usual when some of the cast had to isolate due to regulations around the COVID pandemic.

Working remotely would have seemed an impossibility even 12 months ago, however, using the technology now embedded in Bristol Old Vic's digital approach, the theatre responded by putting in place digital solutions to keep those actors at the heart of the rehearsal process. Even isolation couldn't stopped the Merry Crew from throwing themselves into the action with a hybrid in-person/at home rehearsal schedule.

Co-director Helena Middleton said: "It's been an unusual set up for the last ten days, that's for sure. We've been half-in / half-online for rehearsals which have set their own challenges, but the Bristol Old Vic team and the amazing cast have risen to the challenge brilliantly. Fortunately, most of us have worked together for more than ten years, and that creative shorthand has been really invaluable. Although we've had to move opening night a week later, I promise it will be worth the wait!"

Performances for Robin Hood: Legend of the Forgotten Forest will now begin in previews from 27 Nov with Press Night on 8 Dec.
