SYNOPSIS

The Heart of Robin Hood is a fresh, action-packed stage adaptation by David Farr, reimagining the classic legend with a focus on Maid Marion’s journey to inspire the selfish Robin Hood to truly help the oppressed people under Prince John, featuring exciting sword fights, music, and puppetry for a fun, family-friendly spectacle that debuted with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in 2011. It’s a swashbuckling tale of romance, social justice, and adventure, challenging the iconic outlaw to find his heart and do good, not just steal.
