Robin Hood Scoop!


"Lara Pulver has done everything from kicking her heels up to kicking butt on stage, and now she's about to kick some shins, among other things, on TV. The actress has been through a fight training course (including how to handle a lion!) and swordplay for her role as Isabella, sister of Guy of Gisborne, in the third series of the BBC action drama Robin Hood, which has just started filming in Budapest.


Lara will emerge as the major female lead when Robin Hood screens in the New Year. The Isabella role is no girlie damsel-in-distress sort of part. She'll be called upon to make life extremely un-merrie for Robin and his men in green tights. Lara, who won plaudits for her performance in the musical Parade at the Donmar last year, was also in A Chorus Line at the Sheffield Crucible and several other theatre productions, but I was surprised to learn Robin Hood marks her first TV drama.


She'll be on location in Hungary with stars Jonas Armstrong and Richard Armitage for several months. "
