PLAYING ROBIN HOOD: THEATRICALITY IN THE ROBIN HOOD TRADITION
This session is sponsored by the International Association for Robin Hood Studies.
From its inception, the Robin Hood tradition has incorporated aspects of the theatrical, including: early plays about Robin Hood performed at May games, Whitsun ales, and Robin Hood Revels; Early Modern drama about the outlaw; 18th-19th-century sung broadside ballads, Christmas plays, and operas; modern dramatic pieces; staged depictions of the outlaw in 19th-20th-century operas, pantomimes, burlesques; even 20th-21st-century films (watched in theaters) that employ elements of music and stagecraft. This session seeks 3-4 papers that explore any aspect(s) of how the theatrical has been employed to deliver the Robin Hood tradition to audiences.
The abstract should be 250 words. Indicate whether there will be supporting visuals.
Please send the abstract for your proposed paper by 1st September 2021 to
