Stone said: “I cannot tell you how delighted I am to be writing Maid Marian. It was one of my absolute favourite kids’ TV shows in the ‘90s, and I couldn’t be more excited to be working with comedy legend Tony Robinson on this wonderful show.”

Producer Thomas Hopkins said: “I’m beyond excited to bring one of my all-time favourite childhood TV shows to life as a brand new British family stage musical. Tony’s hit BBC TV show Maid Marian and Her Merry Men was a huge part of my growing up, and to reimagine it now for the stage, with such an exciting team of creatives and a dream cast, is a real honour. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the magic and mayhem we’ve created together in this new musical.”
