He's a ne'er do well, a good-time fellow, a prankster, and an aristocrat. And, no matter how much hot water he gets himself into, he always lands on the side of the downtrodden. His story has been shared for centuries and endure to this day in many modern retellings. The experience and offerings celebrate the playfulness in all of us.
