SUMMARY OF SHOW: Everyone knows the classic tale of Robin Hood, the story of the handsome, brave, intelligent hero of the people. Well, this is exactly that: Robin Hood. Except this Robin Hood features an intelligent and no nonsense Maid Marian, eloquently speaking Sheriff, a babyish and spoiled Price John and an empty-headed, yet endearing, Robin Hood.
