Robin Hood

Here we have the re-imagined tale of the fabled Robin Hood and how he escapes the evil clutches of the Sheriff of Nottingham and ultimately wins the hand of the fair Maid Marion. It is a colourful story of evil doings and heroic derring do with all the usual characters making an appearance, plus some others that really should have been there as well. We have the witty narrator, Lincoln Green and his sidekick Alan a Dale, Maid Marion’s nurse, Nurse Nellie from Netherwich, Sir Guy and the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and last but not least the bumbling duo Bow and Arrow. These plus Little John, Much, Will and Friar Tuck are all involved in the tale of Robin Hood and his quest for Maid Marion’s hand. Robin steals from the rich (of course) and gives to the poor enamouring himself of Maid Marion. The Sheriff is not happy with any of this and with the fawning Sir Guy of Gisborne sets about snaring Robin with the competition for the Golden Arrow. Robin gets captured but with the aid of his merry men (and women) he is set free by some crafty goings on. He learns that the Sheriff is to marry his beloved but of course won’t let this happen and in disguise along with his men (and women) attend the wedding and ultimately after a dashing sword fight subdues the Sheriff and his sidekick Sir Guy freeing Maid Marion and winning the day. Maid Marion still says she is unable to marry Robin as she still a ward of the true king Richard. He of course turns up and absolves Robin and his men of all their misdeeds leaving Robin and Marion free to marry.
