REVIEWS
"The twist in Jon Klein's new play is that Robin's a teen, and the story is geared to family theaters. That's a growth niche, and Klein's Young Robin Hood stands a good chance of becoming a staple. Klein makes the expected updates - you don't have to be a white male to get a good role in this show - and gives young Robin an early adventure against Nottingham's flamboyantly villainous sheriff swashbuckles along with the brisk, nearly mindless efficiency of a popcorn picture. Klein's scripts have been known to hit the mysterious sweet spot for regional theaters Young Robin Hood is nothing if not playable" ~ Nelson Pressley,The Washington Post
