RMT listeners,

It's a very interesting in that the late RMT playwright (and author of some of the best ones, IMO) / actor Ian Martin took the original Guy de Maupassant short story and infused it with two key elements of the tale of Robin Hood...not men in tights robbing from a corrupt government to give to the poor, but rather with the subplot within that story of the head of said government Prince John vs. his absent brother King Richard the Lion-hearted, who was trying to return to England from a war (vs. Salahdin the great(?), a middle eastern, muslim king).

Obviously, brothers King Richard and Prince John aren't in this tale, but Sir John Rowell and (apparently) his twin brother Richard are.

The music is great - the recurring, haunting, unnerving 8-note background music at the 5:00 minute mark is perfectly placed throughout the show, with my favorite RMT music closer at the end of the 3rd act.

Enjoy...
