There are a hundred ways to fall in love and Marian and Robin have fallen into each of them. A shepherdess and a yeoman, a feisty noble daughter and an estranged noble son—she has fallen for his wit, his bravery, his chin; he for her skill, her beauty, her kindnesses. No matter how many arrows she loses or witticisms she drops at the audience’s feet, Marian will always be a lover.
Let's gather 'round and tell stories about a Marian who fights; or a Marian who sews and listens and whispers and smuggles out who and what Robin needs; Marian the shepherdess, who knows what it is to be hungry; Marian the nobleman's daughter, who knows what it is to be sold. Marian who always, always, wants more from her life than this.
They call her a lover so let’s call her a lover.
Let’s talk about her love. Let’s talk about how she falls in love with this life.
