MARIAN, OR THE TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD
Saturday, August 25th, 2018Maid Marian is far from the only resident of Nottingham and its neighboring Sherwood Forest to blur gender and sexuality in Adam Szymkowicz’s LGBTQ-celebratory, song-and-swordplay-packed Marian, Or The True Tale Of Robin Hood, one of Theatre Of NOTE’s most exhilarating hits in years.
