The Irondale Ensemble Project is as close as we come these days to the Elizabethan acting companies that once presented Shakespeare’s plays to the Earl of Leicester, Sir Francis Drake and the Virgin Queen of England. ...What is on offer is the miracle of the word made flesh. I wish you joy in it.” —Lewis Lapham, editor of Lapham’s Quarterly

Robin Hood Prince of Monsters

The Irondale Center and Mainspring Collective presents
Robin Hood:Prince of...MONSTERS!

There's something funny happening in Sherwood Forest. The evil wizard, 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.

Monster Literature is an action-packed and hilarious live theater series that celebrates great works of children's literature that kids can read NOW. It follows the continuing adventures of 12-year-old Benjy Bleeglehorn, and her dashing sidekick Bravo Kirkwood, as they attempt to stop the evil wizard Zorlan Morlan from sending his monster armies into great works of children's literature. With each new adventure, there are new friends to be made, new stories to fixed, and new lessons to be learned!

The series is produced by Mainspring Collective, written and conceived by Brooklyn-based playwright Daniel John Kelley, and is directed by Dara Malina. These high energy performances run approximately 30 minutes, and incorporate original music, dance, masks and puppetry in order to provide an entertaining and educational experience for children ages 5 and up.
