So is Robin Hood a real person? Yes and no. What does that mean? He’s a legend… a myth. Define myth, please. A story that has been told so many times it’s impossible to tell if it’s true anymore. A shadow creeps across the courtyard of Nottingham Castle. Someone has been stealing chickens which is a crime punishable by the loss of an ear. The Sheriff of Nottingham and his wolf are lying in wait but tonight they will get more than they bargain for… A tale that’s been told a thousand times – although never quite like this – The Adventures of Robin Hood is a story about heroism and friendship, corruption and murder. There are sword fights, archery competitions, daring rescues and impossible escapes. A wild, anarchic take on an ancient story. Originally commissioned by Visible Fictions and the Kennedy Centre, Washington DC.
