Some stories just transcend our experience.  They take root in the soil of a culture and grow, like the Great Oak in Sherwood.  Odysseus.  Noah.  Hamlet.  Cyrano. 

​

But all pale before the global treasure that is the story of Robin Hood.  The archer, the avenger of wrongs, the generous thief, the fast friend, the champion of the poor and downtrodden.  He and his beloved Maid Marian, his allies and his enemies have graced us non-stop for nine centuries.

​

Tonight we will take a few—okay, maybe quite a few—liberties with the legend, but only out of love.  We honor the man, the tale, the legacy in our hearts.
