" Laura Clarkson`s green canopied design even has calligraphic fragments of the roots of democracy entwined among the roots of the forest floor" - Alfred Hickling - The Guardian -4 stars

​

" There is still so much to commend this show. The abundant fight scenes are well presented, the set design impressive and the clever representation of forest creatures is delightful" - Neil Bonner - The Stage

​

"It’s certainly a spectacular show; a large, pacey, ambitious production that utilises every inch of the theatre, delivering plenty of high-energy swordplay and classy surprises. There’s tumbling and fire and even the trees of Sherwood Forest are choreographed. The key ‘ahhh!’ moment is the arrival of four beautiful, puppet birds of prey. Later, in the showpiece archery contest, the stagecraft that allows Robin’s arrow to split his opponent’s before our very eyes is ingenious enough to demand an action reply".- Whats on guide

The production maintains the high standards audiences have come to expect from the New Vic: a clever set from Laura Clarkson, excellent costumes from Lis Evans and atmospheric lighting from Daniella - British theatre guide
