As You Like It description
Bring a little Shakespeare into your life with his brilliant comedy, As You Like It.
As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies, packed with brilliant wit and romance, a dazzling celebration of what life is like away from the tricky world of courtly politics.
You'll enter the overly formal court of Duke Frederick, where we follow the daughter of the banished Duke Senior, Rosalind, and her cousin Celia. The women, who have fallen out with Frederick, escape into the Forest of Arden along with the gloomy court jester Touchstone, where they meet a colourful bunch of rebels, exiles, shepherds, and lovers.
The action unfolds into a joyful exploration of love's many forms, of identity and disguise, community, and the liberating power of nature. Expect music, mischief, philosophy, and one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches: “all the world's a stage...”
Charlie Josephine, who is also a Co-Director along with Sean Holmes, plays Orlando, with Lola Shalam as Rosalind. The Designer is Paul Wills, and the Casting Director is Becky Paris CDG.
Enjoy a bold new version of Shakespeare's delightful classic with As You Like It tickets, played to perfection along with brilliant live music on stage at The Globe Theatre.
