The Legend of Robin Hood

I've wanted to write a Robin Hood play for years, and Theatre UAB's tour groups gave me the chance. With five talented actors playing multiple roles, it's toured the state to great acclaim -- and now you can perform this script, too.

Fair Warning: Does the script call for fights with real swords? Yes, it does. Does it also have a real quarterstaff fight? Yes, it does. And does it require that you have actors who can play multiple roles -- including one really big guy to play Little John? Well, of course it does.

But I bet you're up to the challenge of staging the fights! I bet you have versatile, protean, highly professional actors! If so, then you'll find this play plenty of fun for actors and audience alike. There are plenty of opportunities in the show for audience interaction -- including a trial where the Sherrif of Nottingham tries to get the audience to join him in condemning Robin Hood as a criminal -- which, after all, is what he is. But Robin also appeals to the audience and begs them to side with him -- because sometimes doing the right thing means going outside of the rules!
