Event information
As You Like It
By William Shakespeare
Escape to the Forest of Arden in Shakespeare’s timeless comedy of love, transformation and newfound freedom. As courtly order gives way to pastoral possibility, disguises are assumed, identities shift and the boundaries between gender, nature and politics begin to blur.
Both playful and searching, As You Like It delights in the confusions of romance while reflecting on the deeper pleasures of self-discovery, companionship and life lived beyond convention. In this world of music, wit and unexpected encounters, bewilderment becomes a source of joy and renewal.
This summer production invites audiences to rediscover one of Shakespeare’s most generous and life-affirming plays.
