Maid Marian - A Review
On Friday, the 31st February 2025, we, the students in grades 5 and 6, watched a play called Maid Marian in the Jugendhaus next to our school. The play is about a girl named Marian, who wants to marry her boyfriend Robin Hood. There’s only one little problem.
The Sherriff of Nottingham wants to marry Marian himself. Marian and Robin can run away from the Sherriff though and hide in Sherwood Forrest. The Sherriff is very angry and plans to put Robin Hood in prison and to kill him. But Robin and Marian are too clever for the Sherriff. Again and again they can play tricks on the evil Sherriff. This makes him even angrier and of course he wants to take revenge. The Sherriff tricks Marian and Robin into coming to Notting Hill. Tere the Sherriff can put Robin into prison. But he didn’t win in the end. The King came back and helped Robin and Marian so they could marry in the end and be happy and in love.
