Marian; or, the True Tale of Robin Hood
Tommy of No Consequence, June 2024
Theatre@First: Powderhouse Park, Somerville MA
June 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, & 23 @ 6pmRobin Hood is (and has always been) Maid Marian in disguise, and leads a motley group of Merry Men (few of whom are actually men) against the greedy Prince John. As the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, who will stand for the vulnerable if not Robin? What is the cost of revealing your true self in a time of trouble? Marian explores themes of gender-expression, the experiences of those of marginalized genders, and how to find out who you are and who you love; all wonderfully juxtaposed within the familiar story of Robin Hood. This slapstick Monty-Python-esque farce is rife with sword fights, thumb-wrestling matches, and endless surprises.
