THE SETUP

The building itself takes on the appearance of a Nottingham towers from the Robin Hood tales. It is twenty stories tall and fashioned in a cylindrical manner. The bottom floor is the reservation and lobby area where guests wait to be seated. From the second floor to the top of the building is the actual dining area, which is split into several parts. The dining tables are lined on the inside edge of the building, and they corkscrew upward, like a spiraling staircase, to the top. This arrangement leaves a very large gap running down the middle, which is used for the entertainment part of the restaurant. The entire building, excluding the first story, is split into five equally spaced sections. Each section is closed off from the other, and contains a singular setting from which the story of Robin Hood plays out in front of its perspective crowd of dining guests. And since there are five separate sections, then there are five separate settings all tied to key points in the story. Once a scene has ended, the tables, which run on a panel attached to a track, slowly corkscrew upward until they reach the next level. This procedure continues until the topmost grouping of guests reaches the top of the building and the end of the play. Once this happens, these guests ride an elevator back down to the bottom, where there car will be waiting for them.
