It is the event of the century—to be more specific, the 12th century. A no-holds-barred, yet surprisingly civilized political debate for the benefit of the citizens of Sherwood Forest between the Robin Hood of legend and his nemesis, that exemplar of villainy, Prince John. Each candidate will haveth three minutes. You’ll be placing a smart wager if you think the Sheriff of Nottingham just might try to tip the scales in his position as moderator. Let us return to England, birthplace of the system of government we enjoy today, to listen to some very opposing views. Where’s Richard the Lionheart when you need him?
The First Robin Hood and Prince John Debate—Live from Sherwood Forest! is narrated by British actor Paul Gregory, who during his long career in movies, television, theater, and radio, has been directed on stage by Sir Laurence Olivier and on film by Sir Kenneth Branagh.
