Summary:

"How Robin Hood Once Was a Wait: A Miracle Play or Christmas Masque" by Rowland Gibson Hazard is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted Christmas masque captures a whimsical interpretation of the classic Robin Hood tale, centering on themes of charity and community spirit during the holiday season. The narrative unfolds on Christmas Eve as Robin Hood and his merry men encounter a group of "Waits," who are performers known for singing Christmas carols. When they learn of a lonely widow and her children, they decide to join forces to bring joy through music. The play features several traditional carols and emphasizes the communal celebration of Christmas, culminating in a delightful interaction with Santa Claus, who encourages the theme of sharing and goodwill. The simplicity and charm of the performance, originally intended for a local community event, highlight the power of music and the spirit of giving, making it both entertaining and heartwarming.
