A foolishly funny twist on the classic tale of Robin Hood comes alive at Roleystone Theatre this March.

Written by David Neilson and directed by Brogan Smirke and Euan MacMillan, Robin Hood: The Truth Behind the Green Tights is the story of cowardly Albert, trying to get by as best he can. He transfers his allegiance from the Merry Men to the Sheriff of Nottingham and back again at the drop of a hat – or, more accurately, the point of a sword. As a result, Albert, his wife, Robin Hood and Maid Marian end up in some very awkward situations.
