Synopsis: | The traditional story of Robin Hood is dealt with in a light-hearted, humorous fashion. The play offers scope for a very large or a more modest cast, with ample opportunities for song, dance, tumbling etc. at the director's discretion. The humour of the lines should appeal to young and old. | |||||

Notes: | based on Treasure Island by R L Stevenson. Music by John Gould | |||||
Synopsis: | Innocent Jim Hawkins finds a treasure map upon the (un?)timely death of Billy Bones and sets out - in the company of friends and pirates - to seek his fortune. More than once Long John Silver and his fellow pirates take over only to be overthrown (literally on at least one occasion). Their arrival on the desert island is fairly traditional and meeting Ben Gunn is not unexpected but the ending is definitely "after Stevenson" when it is revealed that Elvis Presley is also living there as a fellow hermit! The play is written in verse form to facilitate the learning of parts and to add further humour to the script. | |||||
