A gender-bending, patriarchy-smashing, hilarious new take on the classic tale, adapted for performance by teen actors for family audiences. Robin 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? Modern concerns and romantic entanglements clash on the battlefield and on the ramparts of Nottingham Castle in this play about selfishness, selflessness, love deferred and the fight. Always the fight. The fight must go on.

Set in a fictional restaurant, the story unfolds during a hostage crisis when a group of radicals takes over Jimmy's All American Beefsteak Place. Amidst the chaos, unexpected connections form between the employees and patrons, leading to a unique blend of tension and romance. The narrative explores themes of survival, love, and the absurdity of the situation, offering both humor and depth as characters navigate their precarious circumstances.

Exploring the complexities of communication and unspoken emotions, this powerful play delves into the lives of its characters as they confront their regrets and the words left unsaid. Through poetic dialogue, it reveals the profound impact of silence in relationships, inviting the audience to reflect on their own experiences. The interplay of humor and heartache creates a poignant narrative that resonates with anyone who has ever struggled to express their true feelings.
