West Valley City • Everyone knows and loves Robin Hood, the charming rogue who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. But what if Robin isn’t actually an altruistic antihero? What if he’s just a common criminal?

That’s one of the twists in “The Heart of Robin Hood,” David Farr’s rollicking adventure now making its regional premiere at Hale Centre Theatre with new music by Dave Tinney and Rob Moffat.

The other big twist — and this one won’t be much of a spoiler, as it becomes apparent less than 10 minutes into the show — is that “The Heart of Robin Hood” isn’t Robin’s story but Maid Marion’s.
