The Heart of Robin Hood

By David Farr Directed by Joel Sass
June 5 – October 12, 2013

Can a hood become a hero?

All is not well in Nottingham. A cruel prince is terrorizing the countryside, the poor are up to their quivers in taxes, and Robin Hood has learned to steal from the rich—but hasn’t figured out the other part. To the rescue comes a sword-wielding, sharpwitted Maid Marion, who sets out to show Robin and his scary men that there can be honor among thieves. David Farr’s funny, fast-paced swashbuckler will surprise you with a new spin on a story you think you know.
Suitability Suggestions

The play had its world premiere last year at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where it was an extremely popular, family-friendly show. Funny and full of action, The Heart of Robin Hood does contain some violence. Jethro and Sarah see their father’s corpse and there are other instances of brutality, including a beheading and a tongue cut out. However, these events will be stylized and not shown in a graphic way. Children who are prepared for and can handle the occasional elements of stage violence will find the play thrilling and accessible..
