Robin Hood

Scene 1

In Robin Hood's native house Cin the small town of locksley near nottinghamshire)

Robin: Father, please let me go to Nottingham. I am old enough to enter the contest and I am the best archer in Locksley. I can hit a target at 500 paces. I am sure that I can win.

Robin's father: You are a very good archer, my boy. But the King and the Sheriff want archers for their wars. Don't go Robin. Stay in Locksley and be a farmer. It's not a bad life.

Robin: But I want to see the world. I have never been to Nottingham. I may win 100 golden crowns. With that money we can buy more land. And ... then I ask Marian to marry me!

Robin's father: You may win the contest, but Marian's family still won't let you marry her. They want their daughter to marry a knight, not a farmer.

Marian: Yes, my parents want me to marry a knight, but I love Robin and I want to marry him.

Robin: And your father was a knight. He owned land in Huntington and around Locksley.

Robin's father: That was over 20 years ago. The Sheriff took most of our land. Now we are poor and no one can take any more from us.

Robin: We are poor but honest. I am sure that Marian will marry me for love.

Robin's father: Do not talk about love or honesty! There is no love or honesty in England. The rich make laws, the poor pay taxes.

Robin: Father, I must go to Nottingham! I will win the Sheriff's money. Perhaps Marian will not marry me, but at least we will not be poor anymore. Robin's father: Then go! Go with God and may He protect you. Do not stop on the way.

Robin: A golden arrow is a good prize! But I know why the Sheriff is having this contest. It's a trap! He is expecting me to come so that he can catch me and hang me.

In Nottingham

Sheriff: Watch out for Robin. Many of you have seen him and heard him speak. Steward: Well, he is a tall, fair man. He is a brave outlaw. I am sure he will come to the archery contest. He will try to disguise himself, but we will know him.

On the Day of the Contest

Sheriff: All men who wish to enter the contest may shoot an arrow, but only 3 best men can enter the final!

A hundred men take turns to shoot an arrow at the target, but only 12 best men hit inside the bull's eye.

Sheriff: Find out the names of the strangers.

Steward: Robin Hood will not tell us his name. But we know he is tall and fair. There is one tall, fair-haired man among these 3 archers. I will try to find out his name.

Sheriff: In the final round The 3 best archers will shoot one arrow each at a target that is 360 paces away. Let the final round begin.

William of London steps forward.

Sheriff: He is strange-looking man. What is his name?

Steward: I'm sure that he is Robin Hood. His name is William of London. He won't escape us this time!

William of London shoots.

Sheriff: A good shot, William. But my champion can do better.

The crowd: Hurrah for Gilbert!

Gilbert steps forward.

Gilbert: I am the Sheriffs champion. I am sure that I will win.

Gilbert shoots.

Sheriff: Well done! My champion has won. He is better than Robin Hood! The beggar steps forward.

Sheriff: I am sure that he cannot shoot straight with only one eye and a bent back. The beggar shoots.

Suddenly something strange had happened.

Steward: Look! Beggar's arrow has broken Gilbert's!

Sheriff: Come forward. I need archers. I invite you to join my army.

The beggar: I say no, sir. For I am my own man.

Sheriff gives a golden arrow to the beggar.

Sheriff: You are a very rude beggar!

The beggar turns and disappears in the crowd.

In the Sheriff's Castle

Sheriff: I was expecting Robin to come to the contest.

Suddenly an arrow hits the castle's wooden ceiling.

Steward: It came through the window. There is a piece of paper tied to it. Sheriff: Quick, give it to me.
