Small Parts Players opens our 20th season with the play Robin Hood, adapted by Tim Kelly, directed by Ellie Norvitch, assisted by Pete Pellinen.

Robin Hood, the outlaw of Sherwood Forest, lives life with his followers; anyone who is hungry or who has no place to live is welcome. The citizens of the forest oppose wicked Prince John who has taken the place of King Richard the Lion-Hearted, while he has gone to the Holy Land on a crusade. One day a caravan cuts through the woods; In the convoy is Robin Hood’s childhood sweetheart, Maid Marian, ward of King Richard. Alas, the evil Lady Merle of Cornwall plans to force Marian to marry the evil Prince in an effort to make John more acceptable to the people of England. To arms! It is up to Robin Hood to stop the marriage, defeat a nasty sheriff and secure Nottingham for the King’s return.
