Southridge High School has lost the annual forensics competition for the past ten years, but things really go haywire when the entire team is suddenly transported to Sherwood Forest midway through their performance of Robin Hood. As they act out their roles of Robin Hood, Maid Marian, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and the Merry Men, the real life dramas of love triangles, competitiveness, social and class distinctions unfold and further complicate things, turning the classic story of peasants vs. the aristocracy into a battle between the nerds vs. the jocks. (This play was specially commissioned by Playscripts for high school actors.)
