ROBIN HOOD
PLAYSCRIPT 2006 - 2007
ACT 3
The juggler appears again with the curtains closed. He starts to play his mandolin. He sighs.
JUGGLER: Oh l´amour, l´amour… Robin Hood, hero, defender of the poor and weak, can also fall in love..
Lady Marian, never was a maid so beautiful,
Never was a maid so clever,
JUGGLER: Oh l´amour, l´amour… Robin Hood, hero, defender of the poor and weak, can also fall in love..
Lady Marian, never was a maid so beautiful,
Never was a maid so clever,
(sighing),
Oh, l´amour, l´amour.
Maid Marian´s bed room. Maid Marian is brushing her hair, talking with her handmaiden, Cassandra.
MARIAN: And what do you think this Robin Hood is like?
CASSANDRA: An enemy, I suppose, my lady, an enemy of the worst kind.
MARIAN: Really, Cassandra? Why so?
CASSANDRA: Why else would the Sheriff of Nottingham proclaim him an outlaw?
MARIAN: All the more reason I´d like to know what this Robin Hood is like.
CASSANDRA: My lady? (She stops doing her things and starts Looking at Marian unbelievably).
MARIAN: Anyone the sheriff considers an “outlaw” must be a most respected individual.
CASSANDRA: Surely you´re joking, my lady. (Continues combing her lady´s hair).
MARIAN: (quite playfully) Do I? (Maid Marian stands up, Cassandra follows her).
CASSANDRA: Well, you needn´t worry about that outlaw Robin Hood coming here, my lady.
MARIAN: Oh? And why?
CASSANDRA: I hear he only …
MARIAN: You hear?
CASSANDRA: Gossip, my lady, rumours, idle talk heard among housework maids and kitchen help.
MARIAN: And what have you heard, Cassandra?
CASSANDRA: (whispering and putting her hand before her mouth as if saying a secret) He lives somewhere deep inside Sherwood Forest.
MARIAN: The King´s own forest! Impressive. He must be quite courageous.
CASSANDRA: And he is promising to help the peasants.
MARIAN: How so?
CASSANDRA: By robbing the rich, my lady.
MARIAN: Mm, a clever idea!
CASSANDRA: But only in Sherwood Forest.
MARIAN: Only in Sherwood Forest?
CASSANDRA: Rumour says Sherwood Forest is where – rumour says – he´ll be an outlaw. So, my lady, he won´t be troubling you here.
MARIAN: So, I would have to go to Sherwood Forest then?
CASSANDRA: What, my lady? (looking very surprised and frightened)
MARIAN: Nothing, Cassandra, nothing (Sighing and sitting again on her chair) I do hope the Sheriff´s ball will be exciting tomorrow evening. (looking very bored)
CASSANDRA: When you attend any event, Lady Marian, that event becomes exciting.
Curtains close.
