The Adventures of Robin Hood offers a modern twist on the medieval legend with a cast of three at the center of the story, reimagining the tale with enthusiasm, tenacity and vigor. This irreverent telling of a timeless story still pits the despicable Sheriff of Nottingham against Robin and his band of Merry Men, the haves against the have nots - but this time just three actors will bring the whole cast of characters to life. In the capable hands of director and physical theater expert Adrian Danzig (500 Clown Trapped), this production promises to be energetic and fun while still asking important questions about the line between heroism and villainy.
