The citizens think that all hope is lost until they hear word of a noble hero, Robin Hood of Locksley.

This comic retelling of the story includes thumb wars, missed cues, and a slow motion fight.

"This was a perfect play for Middle School! The audience thought it was hilarious. Very pleased and the kids loved it!"
By Ashlee Sexton - Director - Southside Elementary School
"My students had a great time with this play. They loved it from the moment we started. The reaction from the audiences was amazing. As director I liked being able to add more stagehands, citizens and Merry Men. It gave more stage time to the students. Breaking the 4th wall made it even more fun."
By Susan Glass - Director - Kuemper Catholic High School
"Hilarious play! Well written and easy to cast! The students loved the witty barbs and different take on the story."
By RayeAnne DeSoto - Director - GRMS Drama Club
I have always enjoyed the adventurous nature of Robin Hood and this one has all the action and suspense with a lot of humor in between. The play allows for big, cartoon like characters and a variety of talent levels. Add in the fact that the characters refer to the script throughout the show and that the merry men are actually a bunch of girls (because in a high school drama department, girls outnumber the guys) and you are sure to have a performance that will have the entire audience rolling in their seats.
