This version of Robin Hood emphasizes the social problems which led to his career in Sherwood Forest. The heroic deeds are seen anew in Robin bedeviled with a dilemma: obey the Law and see people suffer the worst evils of the feudal system; break the Law and cause violence, anarchy and injury to people. There is strong action, dramatic clash, and vigorous confrontation as Robin makes his choices in a solution that is imperfect but aims to avoid future violence. A modern play of ageless appeal. Recommended for ages nine and older.
