  • Towards a Reconstruction of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham

    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.

Polyphenols are widely responsible for both. Whereas polyphenols do not always result in a positive flavor and taste, they can surely impart certain off-flavors, which will be mentioned in this paper. However, the aftertaste is an important component of the beer-tasting experience and acceptance. The aftertaste, including astringency, may largely influence consumers’ consumption preference and behavior. Bitterness is one of the main, desirable characteristics of beer, but to an untrained consumer, it can often be mistaken with astringency. This review aims to describe the differences between these two properties. Both attributes derive from the same beer components, polyphenols from barley and hop, but there is a distinctive difference between them. To understand the complexity of bitterness and astringency, polyphenols behavior, characteristics, and stability during the brewing process are also described in this review.

  • Little Red Robin Hood CHARACTER SCHEDULE

    Little Red Robin Hood CHARACTER SCHEDULE

    Characters of Little Red Robin Hood CHARACTER SCHEDULE AMELIA, A.K.A. LITTLE RED ROBIN HOOD The young heroine of our panto. The forest creatures nickname Amelia “Little Red Robin Hood” because of her red cloak and how she reminds them of their long-lost savior, Robin Hood. She is a strong-willed, fifteen-year- old orphan with a knack for archery and a determination to save Sherwood Forest. MAUD A.K.A. THE GRANNY IN THE WOODS The Granny is a classic character from Little Red Riding Hood, but Maud is much more than a wolf’s dinner. She fights side-by-side with Little Red against a greedy villainess, inspires the whole forest with her letters to the editor, and is the dame of this panto! What’s a dame, you ask? In basic terms, the dame is the beloved matriarch of any panto, and is always a drag role – think Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire. LADY NOTTINGHAM Unlike Maud and Amelia, Lady Nottingham doesn’t have a direct fairytale counterpart. She’s the villain of our story and is a sort of combination between Prince John from Disney’s cartoon Robin Hood and Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones. CHARACTER SCHEDULE LUPO The big bad wolf of our story isn’t really that big, and truly isn’t that bad, either. Lupo gets caught up in a bad crowd working for Lady Nottingham, but doesn’t want to eat Little Red or her Granny like in the original tales. He serves as more of a narrator in our version.
  • The Belgians Don't Pussyfoot Around with Their Beer. Not Only Is Their Country Regarded As the Restaurant Operators in Astoria

    The Belgians Don't Pussyfoot Around with Their Beer. Not Only Is Their Country Regarded As the Restaurant Operators in Astoria

    A Taste of: Malheur 12° Quadrupel Mar 12th, 2010 by David Flaherty Quadrupel, Malheur 12°, Brouwerij De Landtsheer NV, Buggenhout, Belgium (12.0% alc) The Belgians don’t pussyfoot around with their beer. Not only is their country regarded as the Holy Grail for beer lovers, but they have a penchant for naming their beers with an ironic sense of danger that will draw a gasp from the most hardened nun. Why name your beer “Adam’s White Light IPA” when you came name it after the Devil (Duvel), Lucifer, Satan or after a brutally debilitating case of alcohol withdrawal that causes a physical onslaught (Delirium Tremens)? That’s right, people, walk on the dark side with the Belgians! Ride the razor’s edge to hell! Drink the devil’s saliva! With that in mind, I was introduced to a Belgian beer last week that seemed straight out of the Devil’s lair, itself. Such wildly delicious flavors and such deceitful drinkability that it fully masked its high-alcohol pitchfork. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Malheur 12°. Meaning “misfortunate” in Belgian, I’ll be damned if it was. It was spectacular. So, there my lady and I were having a bite at our local haunt, Sanfords, when we started geeking out on beer talk with Gus Karalekas. Now Gus and his brother, Chris, own the joint and they don’t mess around. These have to be two of the savviest restaurant operators in Astoria and they have one of the sickest, most value-driven beer and wine lists in the city.
