The Wallis and Vesturport present
The Heart of Robin Hood
Written by David Farr
Directed by Gisli Örn Gardarsson and Selma Björnsdóttir
A classic tale goes rogue in Vesturport’s bold new twist on the world’s most infamous outlaw. Forget everything you ever knew about Robin Hood. In writer David Farr (“The Night Manager”) and acclaimed directors Gisli Örn Gardarsson and Selma Björnsdóttir’s reimagining, Robin and his unmerry gang of cutthroats steal from the rich, but it’s never occurred to them to give anything back to anyone. But when wicked Prince John threatens all, bold Marion steps in to protect the poor and transform a thuggish Robin from hood to good.
“It’s a romance, a comedy and a drama. It has swashbuckling, cross-dressing and acrobatics. By the time of its final glorious romantic tableau, it will be a rare theatergoer who’s not won over.” - The Boston Globe,
“A great, feel-good night out at the theatre - with a fun twist on the story you probably already know and love.” Broadway World
Run Time: 1 hour and 50 minutes including a 15-minute intermission
Suitable for ages 10+.
