This exciting musical brings history to life! With swash-buckling fights, festing and dancing, it shows the value of loyalty, honesty and friendship. The script is in witty rhyme and minstrels introduce each scene with a verse. To simplify the action, the stage is divided into two areas - Castle and Sherwood Forest.
While Richard the Lion Heart is away on a Crusade, his brother, Prince John, rules England and, supported by the Norman Barons and Sheriff of Nottingham, exploits the Saxon Peasants.
Robin Hood and his friends, Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck, the Little John family, Maid Marion and Bess make a pact to fight for the rights 'of the honest and good'. They ambush the Sheriff of Nottingham while he is passing through Sherwood Forest. As a reprisal, Prince John lures them into a trap. King Richard returns in the nick of time to save the day, and friendship overcomes conflict.Age guide: 5 - 14; KS1, KS2, KS3 Duration: 50 - 60 mins
