The Robin Hood Investigation
In 2007 and 2008 I wrote, performed and produced a show called The Robin Hood Investigation in the Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and at various venues in London, including the famous Hen & Chickens Theatre.
I produced all the content for the show, including stand-up, songs, and two original films videos shot on location in Nottingham. I also did all the marketing and PR.
Show blurb:
Lucy Watson wants answers. What the hell is with Robin Hood? He supposedly pranced around a forest 700 years ago in some green tights, and ever since he’s been the subject of countless songs, films, TV shows and lame Nottingham tourist attractions. But why? Did he even exist? And why do we still care? Lucy delves beneath the tights to unravel the truth: the man, the myth, the legend, the lie, the thief, the blatant tax evader. An irreverent and comic look at an English icon and complete media whore.
