The many merry gests of Robin Hood at the Undercroft

We are doing different this December at the Undercroft. Not only have we moved from the first wednesday to the second tuesday, but we have two professional tellers coming to share their stories with us...

Wendy and Michael Dacre

This month husband and wife, Wendy and Michael Dacre will be sharing their stories of Robin Hood adapted from the early gestes devoted to the outlaw and his merry band. As the Dacre's say...

These tales give the most vital and authentic account of the English outlaw - violent, earthy, humorous and tragic. This is the original ‘Robyn Hode’,mostly from the early ballads, and still the most exciting - not suitable for young children. Songs of the Greenwood wind in and out of the stories to create a vision in sound of Merrie England.

The set includes:

Robin Hood & the Monk
Robin Hood & the Potter
Robin Hood & the Pedlar
Robin Hood & Guy of Gisborne

Robin Hood & Alan a Dale
Robin Hood’s Death
