Le Jeu de Robin et Marion (The Play of Robin and Marion, 1283) by Adam de la Halle
Sun 5/31 • 1PM - 4PM PDT
UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library
The UCLA Early Music Ensemble, joined by internationally renowned vielle player/fiddler, Shira Kammen, presents a new adaptation of Adam de la Halle’s Le Jeu de Robin et Marion (The Play of Robin and Marion, 1283) outdoors on the Clark Library's grounds. The English adaptation by Dr. Lawrence Rosenwald (Professor Emeritus, Wellesley College) tells the original tale of Maid Marion, Robin Hood, and their merry friends as they outsmart a cruel knight. Modern audiences of all ages will feel enchanted as actors and singers transport us to the thirteenth century with music performed on instruments from the Middle Ages. Pack a picnic basket and join us in our feast to celebrate the knight’s defeat! Visit the event webpage to learn more and register to attend this free event.
