Robin Hood

"Robin Hood, friend and helper of the oppressed and the unfortunate, and the enemy of all proud tyrants!"

Last weekend Seth and Madelyn performed in the Greenhouse's Medieval Festival, taking part in the performance of Robin Hood. Seth was actually Robin himself, and a fine one he was, I must say! Even he said later that he thought he actually looked like Robin Hood in his costume. "Acting the part" comes naturally for Seth, and he loves to do it. This type of performance was new to Madelyn, but the part of a village child on the street of a medieval town watching the performance was a perfect introduction to the world of theater for her and the other kids her age who joined her. Both of them did such a wonderful job... it was a "merry performance carried out in the livliest fashion"!


By my faith, 'tis Robin Hood and his band of merry men!Robin Hood battles the Prince of Aragon... soon the foe will be vanquished~ victory is imminent!
Madelyn and her friends, Marta and Devlyn, were peasant children who watched the performance of Robin Hood being acted out on the street of their medieval town.
"This is a time for music and dance, not for evil words and bitter speeches. Strike up a merry tune and we shall dance to it! Ay, that we shall!"

"Robin Hood, this true English hero- a protector of the poor, a foe to the tyrant, brave, gentle, and chivalrous, a man after the English peasant's own heart."
