The
song “ The More we Get Together”
Can you guess?
we have friends. They cannot walk and cannot see.
But they are very good to you and me,
with these friends we sail on ships
And rides on trains and even fly in airplanes.
These friends show us towns, seas and lands.
Can you guess who these friends are?
Bov: A new little book
Full of pictures was bought
For a good little girl
Whose name was Jane Dort.
Girl: She looked at the
pictures
And liked them indeed,
But she was too young
To spell and to read.
(Все уходят. Входит мальчик с книгой.)
The
song “Father is Going To Read A Book”
Bov: l hold my book with both my friends,
And

And
so I get to know all kinds of places where people live with different faces.

1: Our story begins in 1066. In that year the Normans came from France and
defeated the Anglo-Saxons. The Normans then ruled England for the next three
hundred years until slowly the Normans and Anglo-Saxons became one nation: the
English.
Speaker
2: There lots of forests and wild animals in England at the time. These forests
belonged to the Normans. The Saxons were not allowed to hunt in them or to kill
any animals.
Speaker
3: If the Saxons killed any of the King's animals, the Normans hanged them or
cut off a hang or an arm. Saxons had no rights and if they broke a law, the
only hope for them was to leave their villages and hide in the forests where
our story takes place.
Speaker
4: It is the twelfth century and Robin Hood is living in Sherwood
Forest with his men. Not far away in the next town is there
enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Scene

Sherwood
Forest
Speaker
1: Listen. The Sheriff is in his castle in Nottingham.
Speaker
2: The man was caught in the forest. He killed one of the King's deer.
Sheriff
: (angrily) What? Did I hear
correctly? Killed one of the King's deer?
Lester
: I had to kill the deer. We had no food.
Sheriff:
How often must I tell you people? The forest and the animals in it belong to
the King and only the King. Nobody is allowed to kill my animals. Hang him. ^ 1
Lester
: I was hungry. We had nothing to eat.
Sheriff:
Hang him!
Lester
: It's not fair. We must pay money to the King and to the Church. We had no
money to buy food or clothes. How can we live.
Sheriff:
Take him away. You'll be hung tomorrow.(laughs)
Speaker3:
But listen. One of the servants in the Sheriff's castle heard the story.
Speaker4:
And he rode quickly to Sherwood Forest.
Speaker1: He rode
through the tall dark trees until one of Robin Hood's outlaws stopped him.
Scene

Sherwood
Forest Marian: Where are you going?
Scarlet
Wills: I must find Robin Hood. It’s important. The Sheriff is going to hang a
man tomorrow.
Marian:
Come with us,
Speaker2:
Maid Marian put a bag over the servant's head and together they rode through
the forest.
Speakers: Until they
came to Robin's camp.

Robin
Hood's camp
Marian:
Robin, Robin! Where is Robin? Look, who I've found. One of the Sheriff's
servants!
Little
Join: And you've brought him here? Are you crazy? Now, go and see if there are
more of the Sheriff's men in the forest.
Scarlet
Wills: I am alone. And I must talk to Robin Hood. It's important.
Robin
I'm Robin Hood. Now tell me who are you and why you've come here.
Scarlet
Wills: I'm one of the Sheriff's servants, but I'm a Saxon, too. Today the
Sheriff's men caught a man. He killed a deer in the forest and now the Sheriff
wants to hang him.
Marian:
Who is he?
Scarlet
Wills: Lester Stout. His father is dead. If he is hung, his mother will be
alone. They had no food Robin. They had to kill the deer.
Robin:
Do we know the family?
Little
John: The Sheriff's men killed his father last year. They are very poor, Robin.
Robin:
Then we must help them. Maid Marian, send some food to the mother at once.( Thinking) Aha!
We haven't got a plan.
Scene 4
Nottingham
Mary:
Jack, read what is written in this paper.
Jack: (reading slowly and with difficulty): “Fifty pounds for Robin Hood!" ha-ha- ha!
The Sheriff hopes that Robin Hood will be brought to him for fifty pounds! How
foolish of him!
Mary:
We must tell Robin Hood about it. He must be careful.
Jack: You are right!
Let's run to Sherwood Forest and tell Robin Hood about it.( the
children run away)
Scene 5
Sherwood
Forest
Jack: Robin Hood! Robin Hood! We have something to tell you.
Robin:
Hello, Jack! Hello, Mary! What has happened?
Mary:
We saw a paper on a wall in the town of Nottingham. It says fifty pounds for
you!
Jack:
The paper is written by the Sheriff. Be careful, Robin Hood! He wants to catch
you. He will give fifty pounds to the man who will tell him where you are.
Robin:
Don’t be afraid for me, children! I am not afraid of the Sheriff. I must go to
Nottingham.
Mary:
Oh, Robin Hood! Don't go there!
Robin: Don't be afraid, he will not know me.

to hang Lester.
Speaker 1: And there on the road he met a poor beggar.
Robin: Good morning, beggar.
Where are you going?
Beggar: To Nottingham, sir. But I'm only a poor beggar. I
have no money and no jewels. Look, sir. Only empty pockets. Nothing in them.
May I go past, please?
Robin: I like your coat, beggar. '
Beggar: My coat? But it is so old worn. Who needs it?
Robin: I need it.
Beggar:
Oh, sir. If you take my coat from me, then I'll have nothing in this world (begins to cry).
Robin: (smiles) I'm going to give
you good money for it. Four gold coins.
Beggar: For gold coins for it?... I know who you are. You're
Robin Hood (laughs, jumps up and down). Here, Robin.
Robin: Here you are. Four gold coins.
Beggar: Four gold coins! I feel like a new man.
Robin: You are a new
man. And I'm now the poor beggar. Let's go to Nottingham quickly.
Scene
7
The
market place in Nottingham
Sheriff: You know the laws! This man must die. He has killed
the King's deer
and
that is against the law. And it is also a law that a Saxon must hang a Saxon.
Who will come here from the crowd and hang him? Well? ... I'll give forty gold
coins to the man who hangs him.
Robin:
{in the beggar's clothes). I'll hang him for
that money. I'm not frightened of the crowd. Give me the money.
Sheriff: But are you a Saxon?
Robin: Of course I am. Now give me the money.
Sheriff: Here. Forty gold coins. And now kill him.
Robin: {laughs at the crowd). What
is a Saxon to me? I'll kill all of you. And for less money.
Sheriff: Hurry up!
Robin: (to
Sheriff)F\rs\ I must hear his confession.
Sheriff: What? He is
not allowed to have a confession. Kill him, and quickly. Robin: It is also the
law! (Goes to the man) I must hear his
confession first. Speaker 2: And the beggar went to the man.
Speaker 3: He put his
ear to his mouth.
Speaker 4: And he
began to talk to him. But nobody could hear what he said.
Speaker1: Not even
the Sheriff.
Sheriff: Hurry up!
Kill him! We haven't got much time!
Speaker 2: But then
the beggar threw off his beggar's coat.
Speaker 3: And
everybody knew who the beggar was.
Sheriff: It's Robin Hood! Catch him! Guards, soldiers. Catch
him! Quickly! Speaker 4: Robin cut the ropes on the man's hands.
Speaker 1: And together they ran into the crowd where more of
Robin Hood's men were waiting.
Sheriff: Catch those men! They are in the crowd. The town is
full of Robin Hood's men. Catch them all. I want them here.
Speaker 2: But Robin
and his men rode away.
Speaker 3: Through
the streets of Nottingham.
Speaker 4: Then out of the town and into Sherwood Forest.

Robin
Hood's camp
Lester:
How can I thank you, Robin? You saved my life today. But where can I live? I
can't go home now. The Sheriff men will look for me there. Marian: Then you
must stay here. We need good men who will help us to fight the Sheriff.
Lester: And my poor mother?
Little
John: We'll send her food and money. And you can always visit her. Lester: Oh,
Robin, thank you very much.
Robin:
Well, if you are going to join us, it's time you meet some of my outlaws. This
is Little John, the biggest and strongest man in Sherwood. And then there's
Maid Marian, the most beautiful woman in Sherwood Forest.
Marian: I am the only woman in Sherwood Forest.
Robin: But it helps if you are also beautiful.
Little John: Marian, I'm hungry.
Marian:
Cook your own food. I'm not your servant.
Little
John: Marian, this is the twelfth century. Woman belongs to the kitchen.
Marian; Not in this play. I'm fighting for women's rights(/?o/c/5 up a
card MORE RIGHTS TO SHERWOOD'S WOMEN).
Little
John: You are seven hundred years too soon, {goes towards her).
Marian:
Don't touch me. You know you mustn't hit a woman.
Robin:
Be quiet, you two. You are like cat and dog.
Little
John: I am still hungry.
Marian:
Well, eat this (throws him a shoe, Little John runs
after her)
Robin: Stop it. I am
the boss here\And this is what I say : we all cook.
