Madcap Robin Hood drag cabaret begins UK tour in Lancaster

A cabaret retelling the story of Robin Hood will bring a night of burlesque, drag and comedy to a Lancaster theatre.

OUTLAWED begins its national tour at The Dukes later today (Wednesday October 8).

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 a 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.

AK Golding (Like A Rat - Camden People’s Theatre; Northanger Abbey - UK Tour; Hamlet - National Theatre) will play the sensually villainous Sheriff of Nottingham.

Dora Gee, The Stage Debut Award 2025 Best Actor in a Musical nominee (The Mad Ones - The Other Place), takes on the role of Maid Marian.

Returning to don the pencil moustache and famous bycocket is Hunter Manning, who in his drag king persona, Hunter Gatherer, has been a finalist in Europe’s biggest drag king competition, ‘Man Up’, and won the drag competition ‘Have you got the balls?’

Finally, taking on the role of Friar Tuck’ed is international cabaret and circus drag artist Lucinda B.Hind, whose experience performing at every festival from Glastonbury to Burning Man (and everywhere in between) will surely bring some fresh ideas to the famous Midlands monkish order.

The October tour of OUTLAWED is the first for Nonsuch Studios since 2016-17, who previously toured extensively, in-person and online, reaching over 4.5 million audience members.

Founded in 2013, Nonsuch Studios was Nottingham’s first and only independent theatre and creative venue. 

The show starts at 7.30pm. Tickets available HERE.
