Best Bits

Action-packed and full of humour, the 1922 silent film Robin Hood was the first true big budget Hollywood blockbuster. Douglas Fairbanks’s brilliant portrayal of Robin Hood sees him performing swashbuckling stunts with slapstick comedy and charming charisma and his portrayal has been the basis of every reimagining of Robin Hood since. Transformed for the 21st Century with a vibrant new score, performed live by the BBC Symphony Orchestra it's the the perfect introduction to silent film for families with older children.
