The adventures of ROBIN HOOD

El grupo de teatro ‘No Laughing Matter’ presenta este año su cuarta obra con el mismo entusiasmo e ilusión que en años anteriores. Cada año que pasa somos más pero continuamos muchos de los que empezamos hace cuatro años. Este grupo de teatro sirve para que algunos de los alumnos que acabaron su enseñanza en la EOI sigan en contacto con el idioma y con la Escuela. Formamos un grupo de trabajo compenetrado y con unos intereses comunes: pasarlo bien, aprender el idioma y disfrutar haciendo teatro.
La obra elegida este año forma parte de la historia, de tradición inglesa y del folklore inglés medieval. Según la leyenda, Robin Hood era un varón de gran corazón que vivía fuera de la ley escondido en el Bosque de Sherwood, cerca de la ciudad de Nottingham…

INTRODUCTION

Robin Hood is an arquetypal English folk hero; a courteous, pious and swashbuckling outlaw of the medieval era who, in modern versions of the legend, is famous for robbing the rich to provide for the poor and fighting against injustice and tyranny. His band consists of "seven score" (140) group of fellow outlawed yeomen – called his "Merry Men". Robin Hood and his band are usually associated with Sherwood Forest and Nottinghamshire. He has been the subject of numerous movies, books, comics and plays.
In many stories Robin's nemesis is the Sheriff of Nottingham. In the oldest legends, this is merely because a sheriff is an outlaw's natural enemy, but in later versions, the despotic sheriff gravely abuses his position, appropriating land, levying excessive taxation, and he unfairly persecutes the poor. In some tales the antagonist is Prince John, based on the historical John of England, who is seen as the unjust usurper of his pious brother Richard. In the oldest versions surviving, Robin Hood is a yeoman, but in some later versions he is described as a nobleman, the earl of Loxley (also referred to as Locksley), who was unjustly deprived of his lands. In other stories, he has served in the crusades, returning to England to find his lands pillaged by the dastardly sheriff. In some tales he is the champion of the people, fighting against corrupt officials and the oppressive order that protects them.
