Robin Hood at Oldham County Schools Arts Center

In a land where the rich get richer and the poor are starving, Prince John wants to cut down Sherwood Forest to put up an arms manufactory, a slaughterhouse and a tennis court for the well to do while Robin tries to avoid murder and elude the Dark Monk of the Wood who is Death and perhaps something more. This comedy epic unites elements of wild farce and ancient mythologies with an environmentalist assault on the arrogance of wealth and power in the face of poverty and hunger using a world of zany and grotesque characters. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
