MARIAN OR THE TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD Runs July 28-Aug. 19

KTC_Marian or the True Tale of Robin Hood logoMARIAN OR THE TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD
Know Theatre of Cincinnati
July 28-Aug. 19
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Alice Flanders

Cast: Maggie Lou Rader as Robin/Marian, Geoffrey Barnes, Brandon Burton, Ernaisja Curry, Samantha Russel, Candice Handy, Cal Harris, Greg Malios, Leah Strasser & Chris Wesselman

Robin Hood is (and has always been) Maid Marian in disguise, and leads a motley group of Merry Men (very 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 troubles? Modern concerns and romantic entanglements clash on the battlefield and on the ramparts of Nottingham Castle. A play about selfishness and selflessness and love deferred and the fight. Always the fight.
