THE HACK '34 PROGRAM for 193 3 - 1 934-Continzwd FINALE : MAY Fli.TE BOLD ROBIN HOOD It is daybreak in Sherwood forest and the fairies of the Red Dawn are calling forth the early morning hours. Hark! the clarion call resounds across the hills and in the forest rings the hunter,s horn. With vigorous leaps the huntresses take their way and with well-aimed shots bring down the fleeing deer. The solemn Druids, keepers of the forest, lift yearning arms to their Sacred gods. To the distant Helds the gleaners wend their way, stopping to dance in the dawn with Robin Hood and his green men. A lone Knight who has lost his way passes through the forest, and seeing Robin, relates the story of his confiscated lands and stolen young daughter. Robin Hood, ever kind to the unfortunate, gives him a bag of gold. The scene now moves to Nottingham Fair. Its carnival air provides gaiety and mirth for the country side. The venders set up their stalls, the peddlers cry their wares, and the young Swains come armed with tricks and foolery. Maid Marian and Dorothy disguised in doublet and hose attract the annoying attention of Guy of Gisbourne, a gay gentleman of Nottingham, Robin Hood, to pro- tect the modest stranger, bids his men draw sword against the intruder. There is the timely arrival of the dejected Knight of the forest, known by his rich garb as King Richardg his discovery of his lost daughter, Lady Marian, in this at- tractive stranger for whom Robin Hood fought. King Richard and Lady Marian are led to an improvised throne by the happy people. They see the crowning of the May Queen, the dancing around the May Pole and the mummers in masques of gothic monsters, the wolf, the goat and the bear. All the traditional pastimes of old England, the hobby horses, the May Dolls, and the tingling Morris dances, live again at May time. In this tale of Robin Hood, Lady Marian meets her brave lover in Sherwood Forest at twilight, and as they plight their troth, they see Titania, Queen of the Fairies, and her maidens dance to love and beauty. The fairy folk are visible only to those mortals who have endangered their lives for others. CAST Robin Hood ........... .,....,.., ...... J osephine Weeks Maid Marian ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, .........,,...
