The tale of

Robin Hood is very well known. He and his band of Merry Men patrolled

Sherwood Forest, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.

Now, McIntosh

High School presents its production of the classic tale as its entry into

the Region One Act Competition.

Though the

McIntosh production is presented in two acts, the theater group will submit

part of the show into the region competition, which will be Nov. 4 at

Sams Auditorium in Fayetteville.

The play stays

relatively true to the tale. The King is away and Prince John is ruling

England poorly. His thugs are terrorizing the people of England, taxing

them incessantly. Prince John's main thug, the Sheriff of Nottingham,

jails people who do not pay and is hunting Robin Hood and his band of

vigilantes.

Robin Hood

meets Maide Marian and falls in love with her. In the end, Robin gets

the girl, thwarts his enemies and protects the kingdom for the King's

return.

One of the

main differences in McIntosh's production is that Maide Marian is a swordswoman.

In fact, the swashbuckling in McIntosh's production will be quite good

as it was choreographed by Drew Reeves, who choreographs the action for

the Shakespeare Tavern in Atlanta. The play also gets a boost in the players'

costumes, as their costume designer has designed costumes for the Renaissance

Festival.

"Robin

Hood" is co-directed by Rebecca Packard and Stephen Buckner and promises

fun for the whole family.

The show will

be presented Oct. 25-28 in the Black Box Theatre at Mcintosh High School.

The Wednesday and Thursday performances will be presented at 6:30 p.m.

while the Friday and Saturday performances will be at 7 p.m. Tickets are

$6 for adults and $5 for students.
