There’s some contention on who inspired the character-Sir Robert Ingram, Henry de Faucemberg, Philip Mark, Eustace of Lowdham, Ralph Murdac-but no matter the work, he is always referred to as the Sheriff of Nottingham and not by any other name because it’s about the abuse of authority more than anything else.ĭesign Notes: A corrupt and sly medieval villain? Yes please! Given all the politicking and cunning he’s often depicted being about it’s natural for the sheriff to have some rogue levels, but to keep him an interesting and really capable saboteur he’s also got some ranger action with the gloom stalker archetype (which in the realms he’s walking about in should make him pretty much invisible, although most of the time he ought to be commanding and helping his minions). Depending on the story he is sometimes a physical nemesis worthy of the highwayman, but more often than not he’s a shrewd and conniving politician with eyes on the throne. Many, many congratulations.In most Robin Hood tales the villain is the Sheriff of Nottingham, a ruthless noble that overtaxes the common people and enforces the crown’s laws without mercy or any shred of kindness.

And let’s not forget the choreography, which was performed by the society chorus controlled and excellently executed, the dance numbers further enhanced the overall enjoyment of this amusing show.Ī charming Robin were brilliant and their song ‘Honey Honey’ was tremendous fun. All the musical numbers were well sung by either soloists or the ensemble chorus, supported, as ever, by John Woodman, Mike Saunders and Paul Whiteside. As mentioned before the selections were cleverly chosen to work with the script, and it was a case of spot the musical from which they were lifted and adapted. Firstly let me start with the script, written by Judith Shone, who had taken all the elements of this well-known legend and developed it into a fresh and fun tale, at the same time weaving in all the usual pantomime set pieces and choosing and adapting songs and music which perfectly suited the flow of the production. In fact, it is difficult to know where to start with the praise that is richly due for this fun example of amateur theatre. Natalie had made the most of some fantastic touches which elevated the show, and her casting ensured a strong overall ensemble.
