Hoods in the Hudd

A tale of rising taxes, the cost of living and community spirit. Join Robin Hood, Red Riding Hood and their fairytale friends as they fight to save the village of Merrywood. This original pantomime is packed full of singing, dancing and family fun.

Invisible Pain Theatre Company is a community-focused theatre organisation dedicated to creating meaningful, thought-provoking, and inclusive performance experiences that explore the often unseen challenges people face in their lives.
Through original productions, workshops, community projects, and creative collaborations, we use theatre as a powerful tool to raise awareness, encourage conversation, and promote understanding around issues that can be difficult to discuss. Our work shines a light on hidden struggles, celebrates resilience, and gives voice to lived experiences that are frequently overlooked.
We believe that theatre has the power to connect people, reduce isolation, and inspire positive change. Our original productions are developed with compassion, authenticity, and a commitment to ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
Based in Leeds, Invisible Pain Theatre Company welcomes people of all backgrounds, abilities, and levels of experience. Whether performing on stage, working behind the scenes, volunteering, or attending our events, members become part of a supportive creative community where artistic expression, personal growth, and wellbeing go hand in hand.
Our vision is to create theatre that entertains, educates, and empowers—bringing communities together through storytelling, creativity, and shared human experience.
