Robin Hood reinvented

Guild member Dominic Minghella has created a new Robin Hood for the BBC, as Garry Jenkins reports in The Times.

“We wanted Robin Hood to be on the cusp between man and boy. We need to believe he has been off to war and is a leader of men, who has got past his youthful instinct to go off and fight and arrived at a more cerebral, intelligent position. But by the same token we need him to be someone who can hang out with the lads, backflip off the top of a building and snog a girl for the fun of it, too”
