Senior students take the stage

Through February 15-17, the cast and crew of The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood entertained four packed houses and raised over $1500 for local charity Robin des Bois. This production was special as it marked a return to the Coristine Hall stage, a first-time collaboration with the talented actors of Trafalgar School for Girls, and the largest cast in director Lucy Martin's ten-year history at Selwyn.

This comedic rendition of the classic tale had everyone laughing. Here's a description from the play script: "It sure is hard to be humble when you're a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, a frantically funny, Monty Pythonesque retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bull's-eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured "Town's Guy" who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you've got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won't soon forget!"
