I am a high school director who just saw a taped performance of one of the most delightfully funny plays called, The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood.  I almost died laughing.  I haven't seen a play like this that is a perfect combo of fairy tale and hysterical comedy  before. It is a perfect high school/family comedy.  If anyone has heard of this play, could you give me a suggestion to where I might find it.  I’ve tried Samuel French and Baker’s Plays and it is not published by them.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   
: THANKS— Karen

If you're still looking for info, the playwright is Mary Lynn Dobson. One of her plays, "Two on the Aisle, Three in a Van," was recently produced by Fat Chance Productions. You can find a write-up on that show and a bio of the author at http://www.fatchanceproductions.org/september9.htm 
 
My impression is that this company worked directly with her, so if you're having difficulty securing rights/scripts, you may be able to contact Fat Chance by e-mail and ask them how to get in touch with the author.
