Two live outdoor theatre productions are set to come to Maldon tomorrow (Thursday, 5 August).

The Museum of Power, based in Langford near Maldon, is hosting an open air theatre production of Robin Hood at 3pm and showing Jane Eyre at 7.30pm.

Essex-based theatre company DOT Productions is bringing the show to audiences, as part of its twelfth year of touring.

Louise Lindfield, a co-producer at DOT Productions, said: "We are so excited to bring both touring shows to The Museum of Power tomorrow.

"It's been a hard year for theatre and the cast are so pleased that they have the chance to perform in two different productions."

In the company's fast-paced adaptation of Robin Hood, Robin's gang will battle against the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and steal from the rich to give to the poor.

DOT Productions said: "Full of memorable characters, silliness and charm, this production is an hour of pure escapism which will leave all the family with a smile on their face."

The company will also bring Charlotte Brontë's classic novel to the stage in a new adaptation, which will track the cruelty of Jane's childhood to the passions and mysterious secrets of her adult life.

The company said: "Charlotte Brontë's bold and enduring novel is full of gothic drama and heart wrenching choices that translate onto the stage in a powerful production played out by 5 actors that is not to be missed."

Louise added: "Robin Hood is geared for the family audience - so lots of fun slapstick humour - and Jane Eyre is such a Gothic Classic that anyone will love watching it with the Museum of Power as a backdrop."
