Excerpt From Act 1 Scene 1
(Scene opens. Stage is painted like the woods. There is a sword fight. Enemies are defeated and run off stage.)
King Richard
They flee, frightened. We have found triumph once again at the end of our swords!
Little John
(Sitting from exhaustion) I find comfort in our victory. These last few weeks have been exhausting. Time with family will surely be enjoyed.
Robin Hood
I too look forward to a warm dinner with my family, Marion and Rob. Laughs around the table surely won’t come fast enough.
King Richard
I wish you two good tidings on your journey back to Nottingham, for I will not be returning with you.
Robin Hood
We’ve won the battle. The kingdom is eagerly awaiting the return of their King.
King Richard
While we may have pushed our enemies away today, they will certainly return. I can hear the whispers of revenge upon the wind. I must travel with our army to the coast and finish them off.
Little John
We can’t send you alone.
Robin Hood
We will accompany you to the coast and battle together.
King Richard
You two are faithful and good, but I can’t ask you to join me on this escapade. You’ve been away from your homes far too long and the kingdom needs your guiding hands. I fret that Prince John will find his way to the throne if it were not heavily guarded by you two, my closest confidants.
