2023 Mulkadee Youth Arts Festival | Program

A message from Townsville Catholic Education Executive Director

Welcome to the Mulkadee Youth Arts Festival performance of Robin Hood. Prepare to be captivated as our talented students from Catholic schools bring their unique adaptation of this legendary tale to life.

Under the guidance of esteemed industry professionals, our students have honed their artistic skills through immersive workshops in choir, dance, drama, band, guitar, strings, and audiovisual media.

The Mulkadee Youth Arts Festival stands as a one-of-a-kind event in Australia, providing an extraordinary educational experience in the arts for students from 31 Catholic Schools within the Townsville Diocese. Beyond the confines of traditional classrooms, Mulkadee empowers students to embrace this invaluable opportunity with enthusiasm and passion.

We are blessed to collaborate with so many talented specialists, professionals, and dedicated support staff who have come together, both onstage and behind the scenes to bring this event to fruition. Our students are the fortunate beneficiaries of their profound expertise and experience, which are simply priceless. We extend our gratitude to all those involved in the production of this performance.

To the families and friends of our performers, we extend a warm welcome and sincere appreciation for joining us tonight. We trust that you will be thoroughly enchanted by our modern interpretation of Robin Hood.

Best wishes,

Jacqui Francis ExEcutivE Dir townsvillE

Synopsis

ACT 1

Our story begins in the middle of the 12th century England in the court of Prince John who is acting head of the country while his brother, King Richard the Lionheart is away fighting in the crusades. The Prince is having a lavish party. Someone mentions Robin Hood and the Prince has a tantrum. Marion and the Ladies-Not-Waiting decide to sneak into the forest to speak to Robin Hood and his Merry Malefactors.

Meanwhile, in the Village of Nottingham, Nottingham Rotters descend upon the village, squeezing taxes from the poor villagers. After they leave, Friar Tuck and Matron Cloquet try to pick up the pieces.

After ambusing and defeating the Nottingham Rotters, Robin and the gang are celebrating back at camp. During the celebration, Marian arrives showing them Robin’s wanted sign. They hatch a plan to get the bounty by pretending to have “caught” Robin.

Mystics (who only communicate in the form of dance) tell the Sheriff to attack Robin’s camp this very night. The Sheriff and Nottingham Rotters leave but Will waits behind to thank Funerina for her help.

Will returns to Robin’s camp to let them know that the Sheriff is on his way and that their plan is in motion. When the Sheriff arrives, he and his men are attacked by Robin’s followers.  The Sheriff and the Nottingham Rotters end up defeated and bound BUT the Sheriff gets away.

Back at the Castle, Friar Tuck is ill so Marion calls for a doctor. Robin Hood (dressed as a Doctor) and the rest of the Malefactors arrive. They overwhelm the guards and free the townsfolk. While the townsfolk are fleeing Marion, Robin, and gang sneak off to steal some of Prince John’s gold from his bed chambers.

They are interrupted by the Sheriff storming into the Prince’s room. The Prince wakes up, the thieves are discovered and things look grim for Robin and the gang. King Richard appears to discuss a letter he received from Will Scarlett. King Richard announces a reprieve for all charges brought against Robin and his friends and an end to heavy taxation in return for being positively remembered in history’s pages.
