                                        Robin Hood Caper

                                        By Fred Carmichael 
                                        Directed by Jo-Ann McCabe

                                        "Starting out as light comedy, The Robin Hood Caper rises to the pitch of irresistible farce."

                                        Four old people meet semi-annually to report to each other on their works within their private club "Charities Anonymous".

                                        Their meeting this season is in the home of Flora Langley's nephew, a small town newspaper man. It turns out that the nephew, Richard, is about to lose his newspaper because of an article he wrote exposing the town's grafting mayor.

                                        The old people, of course, have to get involved in the battle to save both the newspaper and the romance between Richard and his fiancée, Jessica. In the end, the secrets are revealed, love triumphs, and the real baddies get their proper comeuppance.
