Of the swashbuckling adventure, Director Andi Allen states, “I've been a fan of the legend of Robin Hood in all its past TV and film versions since I was a child. I think it was the sense of rebellion he exemplified and the idea that we should always be responsible for the entire community, especially if you are someone with power and wealth. And if the powerful and wealthy don't take that responsibility, then maybe we should ‘help’ them learn to do that. And I love a good sword fight. Every time I've had the chance to be in a sword fight onstage, I felt like Robin Hood.” Allen concludes “What I love about this version of the legend is that it combines some great swashbuckling with comedy, heart, and a modern sensibility.”
Actor Carlos Brumfield is excited to take on the role of Robin Hood. He states, “Robin Hood is one of those characters that is well known cross-generationally and with this production we get to dive into the nostalgia of it all as adults but also enjoy the story with younger generations. The audience will love the familiar story of a man trying to restore justice to an unfair world and enjoy the hi-jinks and sword battles along the way.
