Following the success of the previous installment, the Brooklyn Lyceum and Mainspring Collective have kindly asked me to pen a second installment of my children’s theatre series Monster Literature. Huzzah!

Episode 2 is called Robin Hood: Prince of…MONSTERS!, and a draft of it is already finished and ready to be worked upon.

Here’ s a little description of the show:

There’s something funny happening in Sherwood Forest. The evil Zorlan Morlan has used his magic to turn Robin Hood into a big old scaredy cat, and transform his band of Merry Men into a band of Merry…MONSTERS! It’s up to 12-year- old Benjy Bleeglehorn, and her dashing sidekick Bravo, to enter the story and turn Robin Hood back into his old self again- by teaching him what it means to be a hero!

As a small boy Robin Hood was neck and neck with King Arthur as the legendary English hero that I wanted to be when I grew up, so being able to put together a show about Robin is real treat, and gives me some special warm tingly feelings.

I’ll be posting more about this show, as well as some of the other stuff I’m working as I strive to update this site more regularly in the new year.

For the meantime, you can get your tickets hereabouts.
