The Foresters

The verse play explores the legendary figures of Robin Hood and Maid Marian, crafted by Alfred Tennyson at the age of 82. Commissioned by American theater manager Augustin Daly in 1892, it showcases Tennyson's poetic storytelling alongside the musical compositions of Arthur Sullivan, who created nine short pieces for the score. This collaboration highlights the enduring appeal of the Robin Hood legend and reflects the cultural exchange between American and British theater during that era.
