Thank you Animaterra. Lots of love back.
Brian. Oberon might work better as Little John if the rest of us go around on our knees maybe. Of course as is usual for me I'm concentrating on the legends and the folklore surrounding the characters, rather than facts. A lot is suggested with mime and low-tech trickery. At one point Will Scarlet is narrating the story of the meeting of Little John and Robin. He (she actually) says,

Will Scarlett: It was a very tall man.
Little John: I am a very tall man. (Stands on tip-toe. Looks tall.)

Things like that. What fun. I'm so lucky to have friends willing to do this. Cheers, Joy
