Was Shakespeare really Robin Hood?

No, we're afraid not. But, in the year 1600 someone wrote a play about Robin Hood…and it wasn’t Shakespeare. The American Shakespeare Center Education and Research Department presents A BRING ‘EM BACK ALIVE SERIES staged reading of Look About You.

If you enjoyed…

...then you’re sure to enjoy this anonymously written comedy from 1600 that joins all of our season’s best with a little bit of Robin Hood.
