Robin and the Withering Wood

An Eco-musical on Life and Living Processes

 

Something’s wrong with Sherwood Forest: trees are dying, plants are wilting and the birds have flown away!

Could there be a problem with the woodland habitat or is there a missing link in the food chain? Surely it has nothing to do with the Sheriff of Nottingham or his determination to win the forthcoming archery contest? Maybe Witch Weed and her whining cat, Twiglet are involved?

Whatever the cause, Robin Hood and Maid Marian are running out of time to save their home! Their only clue comes from the wise words of Gypsy Rosie Tealeaf; “The answer is to be found in the leaves, not of a book, but in those of a plant…..”.
