ROBIN HOOD
PLAYSCRIPT 2006-2007
ACT 6


JUGGLER: So, here you see me, Allan-a-Dale, marrying my love. Since then I´ve been with Robin Hood, helping him and his men and making their life a bit happier. The day of my wedding in Sherwood Forest something happened that changed the life of all of us. Listen and see…(he leaves bowing).

Curtains open. We are in Sherwood Forest. Friar Tuck is with Allan-a-Dale and the bride. Next to the bride is her father, he looks very happy and nervous. A little bit behind are Robin Hood and his men.

FRIAR TUCK: So the moment has come for you, Allan-a-Dale and Rose Marie to be married.

Suddenly the ceremony is interrupted by a group of women.They are carrying all kinds of utensils they have taken from their homes.

GREENGROCER: Stop!

All the men look at the women.

FRIAR TUCK: Stop?

GREENGROCER: Yes, stop.

WOMAN 1: Yes, we want to speak to Robin Hood.

ROBIN HOOD: I´m Robin Hood. What are you all doing here?

WOMAN 1: We want to live here, with you in Sherwood Forest.

LITTLE JOHN: We don´t need any women, we are fighters, and we are better alone!

WOMAN 2: The Sheriff has burnt our houses, we have nowhere else to go! And we can fight just as well as you! (showing a big stick).

GREENGROCER: Yes, and if Rose Marie the Bride can stay here with Alan-a-Dale, why shouldn´t we?

All the men look happily at each other except Little John.

LITTLE JOHN: Well, one woman is enough already!

WOMAN 2: Well, you can do with us what you want, but we won´t move! You are very big and strong, but fight with a woman you I´ll tell you who wins!

ROBIN HOOD: Calm down woman! We are gentlemen and would never hurt a woman. I say these women are alone and the Sheriff could put them in prison so… what do you say men?

MUCH THE MILLER´S SON: Let them stay Robin! They can cook and wash our clothes!

WOMAN 1: Yes, it´s time to wash your clothes, you smell horribly!

LITTLE JOHN: I knew it! This is the problem with women, everything has to be tidy and clean!

WOMAN 1: Yes, and you are the first one who´s going to go into the river.

LITTLE JOHN: Oh, no no! This is too much! (He goes away)

FRIAR TUCK: Let´s have peace! God put us both, women and men on earth and we have to live together in harmony! Our enemy is the Sheriff of Nottingham. And now (he takes the Bride´s hand in one of his hands and the groom´s hand in the other hand) By the laws of the Church and by the laws of England, the people present must be asked three times. Only then can a man and woman be married.

WOMAN 2: Oh, how romantic!
(she sighs)

ROBIN HOOD: But this is my forest and we are hungry.

MUCH THE MILLER´S SON: And thirsty too!

All the men laugh.

WOMAN 2: But that isn´t romantic…Friar Tuck…

ROBIN HOOD: (He interrupts the woman speaking in a loud voice) So hurry up, Friar Tuck.

ALAN-A-DALE: (speaking in a nervous and shy way) Yes,…hm, er, let´s finish with this
…(the men start laughing)

FRIAR TUCK: Alright then, I´ll use the abbreviated ceremony. Who gives this woman to Alan-a-Dale?

THE FATHER: I do!

ROBIN HOOD: (proudly) And if somebody takes her away from Alan-a-Dale, he´ll have to answer to me!

FRIAR TUCK: Alan-a-Dale and Rose Marie (The Friar puts their hands together) you are married for the rest of your lives. Be happy and have many children!

WILL SCARLET: Yes, and you can start tonight!

All the men laugh, the bride and the groom look embarrassed

WOMAN 1: But Friar Tuck, this is not a real wedding until the bride and the groom kiss!

GREENGROCER: Oh, how romantic, a kiss!

The Groom kisses the Bride on her cheek.

ROBIN HOOD: And now, everybody, it´s time for the feast, let´s drink and eat!

The curtains close.
