Robin Hood: The Truth Behind the Green Tights

Performed 28 and 29 October 2005 by the 3K's and Freaky Haze

"Feared by the bad, Loved by the good" goes the song about Robin Hood, but in the case of Albert Ross, the distinction is not quite so clear-cut. For Albert is a coward - or, as his wife puts it a little more strongly "a weak-kneed, yellow-bellied, chicken-livered, little coward" - prepared to go whichever way the wind blows, transferring his allegiance from Merry Men to Sheriff and back again at the drop of a hat - or rather, at the point of a sword. All of which lands Albert, his wife, Robin and Maid Marian in some very awkward situations. Fortunately, however, Albert finds courage, with the help of a Tree and the audience, just in time to save Robin from the gallows and Marian from marriage to the loathsome Guy of Gisbourne.

Directed by Ben Mason and Kara Gould, produced by Barbara Tyler.
