Summary

Foot stomping production numbers and soaring solos and duets punctuate this hilarious romp through Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood and his famous band come face to face with some very liberated women. When the Sheriff of Nottingham captures Maid Marian for the umpteenth time, the ensuing antics involve such plots and ploys as Tuck's confession concession, dancing bears, a strike by the Nottingham hangman's local, the proclaiming of a holiday for villains-- and the liberation of Maid Marian in more ways than one. Here is a show for all those men who dream of being Errol Flynn and all those women who would rather rescue themselves.
