I am also the choreographer, surprise, surprise. Well Colin has done an exceptional job as usual with a huge cast, loads of songs, an array of costumes, lots of children and some great sets. I sometimes think he has more energy than me and that is saying something. Robin Hood will be a delightful show for the whole family to enjoy, so sit back and ENJOY! Well done to everyone involved on stage and behind the scenes. Linda Rayner Chairman and Choreographer OOR PAlRON.'s- MESSAGE I should like to extend a warm welcome to each and everyone of you to the Prospect Playhouse Theatre. Many of us will take it for granted that this will be yet another special performance by the Cayman Drama Society because that is what we have to come to expect here. Whether it be drama, comedy, musical, dance or pantomime, the excellence, excitement and professionalism thrill us production after production. Yet how many of us ever stop to think of the hours of dedicated rehearsal that go into making us laugh, cry, sing along, tap our feet or merely remain absorbed in the performances? I am proud to be the Patron of the Cayman Drama Society and would like to take this opportunity of thanking all those involved in these productions including both front of house and backstage volunteers who help to make the dreams of each performance a reality. I wonder if you really know how much pleasure you give to us all including non­ thespians like me? But for now let us just sit back, relax and return to those misty days of old when the forests always seemed leafy and the glades were forever sunlit which was just as well since the Kings were pretty flawed and the sheriffs weren't all that they should be either. But at least there was a hero and chivalry was still alive. Thank you one and all for helping to bring my dreams to life on this stage on more time. Suzanne Smith ~ .,--'----...........e~ n MESSAGE fly THE Q!RECTOR ! ~7¥ ~~~<; k",. It gives me great pleasure to be staging "Robin Hood - The Musical". After the wonderful success last year of "The Wizard of Oz" the question was what do I do for an encore? Actually, it didn't take long to make the decision. I wanted something that would appeal to the whole family, was well known and popular. Robin Hood obViously came to mind. The problem was that I wanted it to have music in a similar format to "Wizard of Oz" and I wasn't aware of a musical version. I found plenty of Robin Hood English Pantomimes and attempted at first to adapt some of those scripts. I found this very difficult as, in my opinion, they were all dreadful! I then discovered Tim Kelly's "Robin Hood - The Musical" but was not too happy with the script and wasn't 100% happy with the music. 1 had in my posession the origInal motion picture script of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" which starred Errol Flynn. This script was marvellous (it should be as it won an Oscar!) and a thought crossed my mind that perhaps I could make use of some of it in conjunction with Tim Kelly's play and this is what I did. A journalist/writer friend of mine, Dody Denman, happened to be in Cayman (it's her favourite place for a vacation) and I told her what I was doing. She was very enthusiastic about the idea and offered her help which I gladly accepted. I sent her my script and she spent a considerable amount of time in editing and remodelling it into the version you will see tonight. Many thanks Dody. The music was also a problem. What help make "Wizard" a success was that the songs and music were so well known. From early childhood we were all singing at least some of them. With "Robin Hood - The Musical" not one was known. I remember a CDS member telling me that if I was going to do a musical version of Robin Hood it had to have The Bryan Adams song "Everything I Do I Do For You" (from the recent Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie). I agreed and then I remembered that the popular (originally disbanded but now reformed) 1970's folk group Steeleye Span had performed an album of 13th /14th century May Day Games folk tunes featuring the hits "All Around My Hat" and "Hard Times of Old England". After tracking down the album imagine my glee when I found "Gamble Gold and Robin Hood", "Black Jack Davy" and "Wife of Usher's Well" also included. All songs featuring Robin Hood and members of his band of outlaws. Now I really was excited. Using these, and some of the songs from the original version of "Robin Hood - The Musical", I now had a show. But there was no solo song for Maid Marion and this, I felt, was a must, and one evening listening to an album of Sarah Brightman's "Love Changes Everything" (from "Aspects of Love") came on. It was perfect. I then handed all the music to my friend Chuck Quappe and asked him if he would re-arrange them it and be my musical director. Surprisingly he agreed and was able to get assistance from his dear wife, Barrie, who not only helped the cast with their singing but directed the show whilst I was away. But for her recent injury, Barrie would definately have been in the cast. So Robin Hood was now ready to go. My choreographer is, of course, the very talented Linda Rayner, who was involved in the planning of this show almost from inception. She took all my ideas, shook her head but came up with dances that we could all do (I exclude myself however!) and portrayed my vision and much more. When 1 didn't like something - there was no argument - it stayed how she wanted it! No that's not true - just a joke. One dance she changed just three weeks before we were due to go on because I didn't think it was working. Thank you darling. Violetta Kanarek has designed all the costumes, cut them out, sewn and worried over them after saying "Never Again" after her fantastic job on "Wizard of Oz" that nearly sent her into a mental institution. This one was certainly a challenge. Thanks a mil. Violetta. What shall we do next? Others to thank include, Peter Pasold, Peter Phillips, Peter Webster and David Godfrey for the set building and Penny Phillips and Roxanne McCutepeon for the backdrops. Angela Riddle and Jennifer Ahearn for stage-managing and everybody else that works unceasingly behind the scenes in make-up, props, sound, lighting, follow spot, bar, front of house, etc. It would also be remiss if I didn't mention my hard working producer, Angel Borden, who took so many administrative worries from me. She is a treasure, And finally my wife, Joan, who never saw me for months (she said she really didn't mind that! !??) and Liz Isles (the nasty Lady Merle) for being a shoulder to cry on and being in charge of things when I was absent. A round of applause for all. Sit back then and enjoy the fun, laughter, suspense and romance of "Robin Hood - The Musical", COLIN WILSON _.~----- ~ ........~ SllRRO'UNQlNG RC)'BIN H~ & H\£ l'A£RRy M£-'N. Based on research largely from J.c. Holt's book "Robin Hood" Robin Hood Much conjecture. Was Robin Hood his real name or a nickname? Most historians agree he did in fact live and the agreed date is the first half of the 13th century. Was he a knight or a yeoman? No one is certain. What is interesting is that a Robert Hood with his wife Matilda (yes - Matilda not Marion) figured in the court rolls of the manor of Wakefield around that time and was driven into outlawry as a contrariant. He also was distantly related to a Elizabeth Merle de Staynton (see Lady Merle). Most of the legends surrounding Robin Hood are based on poems or ballads and play fragments. The earliest bei ng (1450 manuscript) "Robin Hood and the Monk".

  • Towards a Reconstruction of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham
    Early Theatre 14.1 (2011) Alexis Butzner ‘Sette on foote with gode Wyll’: Towards a Reconstruction of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham Lythe and listin, gentilmen, That be of frebore blode; I shall you tel of a gode yeman, His name was Robyn Hode. A Gest of Robyn Hode1 In the greenwood of England, a game is afoot. Robin Hood, the noble ban- dit, has been identified as the audacious hero of Sherwood and Barnsdale for centuries, and his constant presence in ballads and drama since the four- teenth century attests to his popularity in and influence on the culture of the English nation. In a manuscript fragment of the late fifteenth century,2 the legend finds incarnation in a twenty-one-line drama (forty-two, if the caesurae are recognized instead as line-breaks), known by most scholars as Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The text contains no indication of scene-divisions or stage directions, and does not offer any notation to indi- cate the identity of the various speakers. Because the text offers so little in the way of definite answers, it invites interpretation. Despite their admirable efforts to treat the fragment, however, scholars have reached little consensus: critics, while advancing the probable accuracy of their own reconstructions, have yet to resolve some crucial difficulties that arise in the extant text. By reading the script Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham as a single and complete play-text, as I do in this re-examination, readers may reconcile its apparent inconsistencies. Since the first extant record of Robin Hood in literature, in the four- teenth century Piers Plowman, tales and rhymes of the legendary outlaw have permeated Anglophone culture — a feat of public memory that, according to Stephen Knight, is surpassed only by stories of King Arthur.3 That the Robin Hood legend survives — and thrives — should not come as a shock; 61 62 Alexis Butzner even in his earliest incarnations, he occupies a liminal space between social strata.

  • Treacherous 'Saracens' and Integrated Muslims
    TREACHEROUS ‘SARACENS’ AND INTEGRATED MUSLIMS: THE ISLAMIC OUTLAW IN ROBIN HOOD’S BAND AND THE RE-IMAGINING OF ENGLISH IDENTITY, 1800 TO THE PRESENT 1 ERIC MARTONE Stony Brook University [email protected] 53 In a recent Associated Press article on the impending decay of Sherwood Forest, a director of the conservancy forestry commission remarked, “If you ask someone to think of something typically English or British, they think of the Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood… They are part of our national identity” (Schuman 2007: 1). As this quote suggests, Robin Hood has become an integral component of what it means to be English. Yet the solidification of Robin Hood as a national symbol only dates from the 19 th century. The Robin Hood legend is an evolving narrative. Each generation has been free to appropriate Robin Hood for its own purposes and to graft elements of its contemporary society onto Robin’s medieval world. In this process, modern society has re-imagined the past to suit various needs. One of the needs for which Robin Hood has been re-imagined during late modern history has been the refashioning of English identity. What it means to be English has not been static, but rather in a constant state of revision during the past two centuries. Therefore, Robin Hood has been adjusted accordingly. Fictional narratives erase the incongruities through which national identity was formed into a linear and seemingly inevitable progression, thereby fashioning modern national consciousness. As social scientist Etiénne Balibar argues, the “formation of the nation thus appears as the fulfillment of a ‘project’ stretching over centuries, in which there are different stages and moments of coming to self-awareness” (1991: 86).

  • Robin Hood Text Focus: Information Text (750L) STAGE 3
    Unit focus: Robin Hood Text focus: Information Text (750L) STAGE 3 Who Was Robin Hood? We’ve all heard of Robin Hood. He’s possibly one of the most famous outlaws in English history. But did he ever actually exist? Is he more myth than man? Read on to fi nd out. Early Beginnings In the Middle Ages, lots of stories were told in song. These were called ballads. The earliest ballads that talk about Robin Hood are from the 15th century. However, there is a ballad from 1370AD that talks about poems about Robin Hood, but it doesn’t menti on him directly. Lots of the things we now associate with Robin didn’t appear back then. There were no Merry Men and no Maid Marian. These were all added in the following centuries as the story was passed along. Stealing From The Rich Everybody has heard that Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor. Unfortunately, this might not have been quite true. If he existed, Robin was defi nitely an outlaw at some point in his life. Most outlaws didn’t only steal from the rich, though. They’d take money from anybody passing by. There is a good chance that he may have been generous with his takings. He might have shared it amongst his own band of outlaws, but it’s unlikely he would share it with everybody else. The Legend So how much of what we know is true? King Richard and King John were very real. In fact, John did succeed in taking the throne while King Richard was fi ghti ng in the Crusades.
