Rise of Robin Hood
Told as an origin story, we meet Robin Hood as an orphaned youth in a prosperous and thriving Nottingham. Robin has arrived with his twin sister Hazel, where they plan to open an archery shop. First, however, they must win the favour of Lady Blackwood.
Making things more difficult, the Sheriff of Nottingham, who has spies lurking all around, including his daughter Marian, is in cahoots with Lady Blackwood. They plan to wed and increase their power over Nottingham by taxing the people blind.
Robin and Hazel quickly make friends in town — Friar Tuck, Little John, and Sayra, Little John’s fierce warrior daughter — but are soon driven away by the evil sheriff. Retreating to Sherwood Forest, Robin vows to restore Nottingham to a land of prosperity and hope.
This fresh take of a timeless classic pays homage to the original narrative while infusing it with newfound intricacies and substance. Bursting with dynamic sequences, including thrilling action, suspenseful chase scenes, daring prison breaks, and meticulously crafted fighting sequences, this production assures an enthralling experience that is sure to captivate and impress.
Embedded within the thrilling narrative of Robin Hood's quest for justice, this reimagining also carries a powerful message: know right from wrong, act with a conscience, and be prepared to help those in need. Through Robin's actions and the challenges he faces, audiences are encouraged to reflect on the importance of moral integrity, empathy, and standing up against injustice. In a world where corruption and greed threaten to oppress the vulnerable, Robin's journey serves as a reminder of the enduring values of integrity and compassion.
