Robin Hood – May 20-22, 2022 – Chesterton Stage Productions

‘The wood is full of wicked thieves,

Of robbers wild and strong,

But though he walked the gallows way

Of him I had no wrong.
-GK Chesterton

Robin Hood and his merry band have traveled through folklore, novels and films, but now they come to the Rochester Opera House stage May 20-22 2022. Chesterton Stage Productions and their troupe of talented teens will transport you to Sherwood Forest; as the fast talking, swash buckling Robin Hood teams up with the refined yet deadly Maid Marian to free the common people oppressed by the rule of King John. Robin is joined by his colorful companions, Little John, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck and more. He will need all the help he can get as the Sheriff of Nottingham brings in Guy of Gisborne; A crafty mercenary with magical leather armor giving him the strength of a horse!

This show is going to be so much fun. The script, from stage and screen writer Larry Balmier, is full of snappy dialog, witty characters, and an exciting yet breezy plot.
