Written and directed by English singer/comedian James Goold-Taylor, the person also largely responsible for much of the Tivoli Frolics' revue material, The Babes in the Wood follows the traditional narrative in most aspects, with Robin Hood and Maid Marion heading the heroic characters and Baron Hardup and the kidnappers (Bam and Boozle) as the villains.
The feature performances are said to have been Moon and Morris as the two incorrigible robbers and Con Colleano, 'the wizard of the wire', who performed feats on a tight-rope high above the stage. Herbert La Martine and Miss Teddy Sherry also performed their terpsichorean novelty, 'The Staircase Dance.'
Two of the musical numbers incorporated into the production were the 'Autumn Ballet' and the 'Rose Ballet.'
