The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood
The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood
"Have you ever wondered what would happen if Monty Python met up with Mel Brooks to tell their version of Robin Hood? Well...um...poor Sherwood Forest would never be the same again." —Flint Youth Theatre, Flint, Michigan

FaceBook—The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood
Comedy. By Mary Lynn Dobson.

Cast: 8m., 6w. (cast may be reduced to 10 or expanded to 25 or more.) It sure is hard to be humble when you're a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, a frantically funny, Monty Pythonesque retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bull's-eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured "Town's Guy" who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you've got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won't soon forget! Flexible staging. Approximate running time:1 hour, 20 minutes.
