Most of them are this! Silly, yes, but it all seems to make a perfect kind of sense… I wonder if you might like Pirates of Penzance, which is one of the most famously direct in this regard.

Always wondered about how Robin Hood translates to America. Personally the thing which I like the most about Robin Hood, and which I think gives the story its eternal appeal, is the interplay between the profoundly archetypal main characters: the good king, the evil prince, the sherrif, the outlaw and the maiden. Take one away and it all falls down. Put them all together and the story tells itself.
