Comedy, music, fights and puppets – that’s the fun summer line-up at York Theatre Royal.
Robin Hood: The Arrow of Destiny is an hilarious reworking of the Sherwood Forest legend, and features CBBC star Neil Reynolds in the title role.
Neil appeared in the award-winning CBBC series The Secret Life of Boys. His other television credits include Find Your Tribe, The Adventures of T-Boy and Toonattik.
This is his first stage role. YorkMix caught up with Neil as he prepared to don his Lincoln green…

I remember one of the cast in Peter Pan was such a cool guy and that made me more comfortable and made me want to do more acting. When the kids are around you’ll always see me with a smile. I’ll always been happy to talk to them.
