The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood

One of the most popular and beloved characters of British lore is Robin Hood. If the name Robin Hood stirs up images of derring-do, flashy battle scenes, and selfless sacrifice, you may not be ready for Amadeus Community Theatre’s presentation of The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood. In this hysterical twist on the timeless legend, the charming but egotistical Robin Hood leads his band of merry men against the diabolical plans of the evil Prince John and his wicked henchman, the Sheriff of Nottingham.

The play contains all the traditional characters and scenes, but with a "Monty Python-esque" spin. The merry men carry spoons instead of swords, the Lady Marian continually wishes skin afflictions on the Prince and Sheriff, and the classic archery tournament is changed to bowling.
