ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
* 3ZB Staff Perform Ambitious Play k
ISTORIANS are inclined to laugh at*the bandit known as Robin Hood, but his exploits are nevertheless an evergreen subject for stories, ballads, | films and plays. Now Station 3ZB
has evolved a radio presentation of "Robin Hood," and it is being heard every Tuesday afternoon at 5.15 o’clock during the children’s session. "Robin Hood," which has_ been adapted for radio by Paula Matthews of Christchurch, is played by a cast which includes many well known 3ZB persons alities. The cast is as follows: Robin Hood: Maurice King; Little John: Jacko; Will Scarlett: Fred Hyde; Friar Tuck: Te Ari Pitama; Maid Marion: Paula Matthews; Will Stutley; Cyril Cook; Alan Adale; Teddy Grundy; Sheriff of Nottingham: Cyril Cook; Richard Coeur de Lion: Bob Speirs. The first episode was heard on Tuesday, January 14, and it is estimated that it will run to about eight episodes altogether. It is in some ways a pity that the play cannot be seen as well as heard, for the players take an obvious delight in the exciting, melodramatic story. One of the highlights is the Friar Tuck of Te Ari Pitama, who, to use a stage expression, " gets his teeth into the part." "Robin Hood" is produced by Grace Green.
