Casting has been announced for Annabelle Brown's production of The Ballad of Robin Hood, which opens at Southwark Playhouse on 30 November.

Starring in the new production will be Owen Findlay as Robin Hood, Rosalind Blessed as Rosie Bailey, Dora Rubenstein as Marian and Tom Daplyn as The Sherrif.

The cast will be completed by Oliver Ashworth, Ellen Chivers and Joel Mellinger.

In Tacit Theatre's immersive production, audiences are invited to enter the Tabard Inn in Borough, 1380 and meet struggling landlady Rose Bailey.

Billed as "Robin Hood meets Game of Thrones", theatregoers can sit down, have a drink and indulge in an evening of intoxicating tales and lively song about the country's greatest and much loved outlaw, Robin Hood.

Written by Greg Freeman, the production will feature music composition by Annabelle Brown, lighting by Leo Steele, sound by Ella Wahlström and fight direction by Ronin Traynor.

The Ballad of Robin Hood runs at the Southwark Playhouse from 30 November to 26 December.
