Robin Hood and the Golden Arrow

By Prema Cottingham
Players: 19
Genre: Medieval comedy
“Hear
ye, hear ye! In honour of a royal visit from his highness Prince John, the
Sheriff of Nottingham has announced an archery contest where any citizen, high
or low, may try his luck to win the prize of a golden arrow!”
England,
1190. King Richard has gone off to crusade in the holy land, leaving his lands
in the hands of his younger brother, Prince John, an evil tyrant. The land is a
dangerous place, the towns ruled by the likes of the loathsome Sheriff of
Nottingham, the forests crawl with bandits. It’s risky to leave your homes at
all, but the chance at winning the golden arrow is too good to pass up (and an
opportunity to rub elbows with royalty wouldn’t go amiss).
Rumour
has it the infamous outlaw Robin Hood might be crashing the party too. Come and
join in the festivities, they’re bound to be a lark (if you like espionage,
kidnapping, true love, cross-dressing, the occasional assassination and such
shenanigans).
