Robin Hood

Stephen Duckham

The Sheriff of Nottingham has two aims in life, to increase his money mountain and to catch the outlaw Robin Hood. Robin also has two aims, to help the poor of Nottingham and to clear his name and regain the family home. The Sheriff’s ward, Marion, has a larger than life aunt who has just arrived in Nottingham with the news that Marion is the sole heir to her late father’s estate. Desperate to get his hands on that money, the Sheriff enlists the help of Nell Nightshade, the local witch, and also that of his two bumbling henchmen, Floggem and Whippem. Many adventures follow including a madcap dinner party – (with entertainment by Will Scarlett, a rather camp balladeer.) – a trip to the haunted dungeons and a hair-raising race to Sherwood Forest. With the intervention of a Hooded Stranger all ends happily with the wedding of Robin and Marion.
