Robin Hood

written & directed by Graham Davidson
original lyrics & choreography by Mary Davidson

Robin Hood is the leader of a band of merry, but not very intelligent, men and they all live together in Sherwood Forest.

Robin's arch enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, has decided to travel to Lincoln, to show off his unwilling bride to be, the Lady Marion, to his cousin but to do so he has to travel through Sherwood. Two very special 'minders', Dawdle and Bungle, are hired to protect the Sheriff and his 'treasure' on their journey through the forest. Not surprisingly, things go badly wrong resulting in madness and mayhem for all concerned and culminating in an unexpected and explosive end.
