The Adventures of Robin Hood - (Oberon Modern Plays) by Oliver Emanuel (Paperback)

About the Book

A wild, anarchic take on an ancient story that's been told a thousand times - although never quite like this.

Book Synopsis

Somewhere near you there is a band of brothers fighting for justice. Seeking to rid the land of evil and return hope to the poorly treated.

They are lean, mean, trained justice fighting machines! Armed with whatever comes their way, nothing is as it seems in this Sherwood Forrest, but one thing is for sure . . . no rogue is safe!

Join internationally acclaimed Visible Fictions for a silly and unexpected take on Robin Hood and be prepared to unleash your imagination!

Suitable for those ages 7 and over.

Review Quotes

"Robin Hood hits the target with imaginative play...ingenious." --Washington Post

"As the hijacked crisp packets fly, the boxes tumble and the lads in grey boogie on down, with slick dance-y stuff that delights all ages, we do get our hero: it's called story-telling, and this show does it proud." --Herald Scotland

"The Adventures of Robin Hood is cheeky, intelligent fun, wonderfully imaginative and with a message that resonates at all levels from the youngest audience members to the oldest. Seldom have I spent a more enjoyable evening at the theater." --Five stars - DC Metro Theater Arts
