Rockin’ Robin

Rockin Robin and his merry band of men star in this fantasy story featuring  Rock Music from the fifties, sixties and seventies. A drama group (or school) is rehearsing a number for the Rock Eisteddfod when an electrical fault in the special effects department causes two of the cast, Maddie and William, to be transported backwards through time to medieval Sherwood Forest.  They meet Robin Hood and Little John who have been expecting them.  All are immediately swept up in events. A Sorcerer  has cast a spell on the village of Locksley, because he mistakenly believes  a missing magic ring has been stolen by Robin Hood and his band.  The students become further tangled in the story when The Sorcerer falls madly in love with Maddie, and concocts a love potion to help win her over.  Meanwhile The Sheriff is trying to win Marion and evade the advances of Elvira, the Sorcerer’s unattractive daughter, while Robin and Marion are simply trying to find a happy ending.  The songs, include Horror Movie, Locomotion, Puppet on a String, Rock Around the Clock and many more as well as the final toe-tapping, Rockin’ Robin.
