Publisher's Synopsis
As Captain Blood, Robin Hood and the Sea Hawk, he was the "King of the Swashbucklers". As ERROL FLYNN, he was Hollywood's number one rogue. He was married three times, and also was the defendant in three rape trials. Indeed, it's fitting that his last major swashbuckling film cast him in the role of "Don Juan".BASIL RATHBONE was much more than the personification of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation, Sherlock Holmes. He was also "Mr. Murdstone" in DAVID COPPERFIELD, "Richard III" in TOWER OF LONDON, "Louis XI" in IF I WERE KING, "Tybalt" of ROMEO AND JULIET, "Captain Estaban Pasquale" in THE MARK OF ZORRO, "Sir Guy of Gisbourne" from THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, and, of course, the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN.The two plays utilize simple costumes and props, and are designed to be staged on a single setting, with shifts in lighting to denote changes in time and place.
