The Festival Players present Shakespeare’s 'As You Like It' Open-air Theatre at The Goods Shed

As You Like It is probably Shakespeare’s most entrancing romantic comedy.

Rosalind, the daughter of a displaced Duke, is banished from the court by her father’s brother. Along with her cousin, Celia, she escapes to the Forest of Arden and disguises herself as a man.

She teases Orlando, a young man, who does not recognise her as the girl he loved at a distance.

The pastoral world of the forest is inhabited with a colourful array of folk, looking for love, and woven into this delightful tale, full of comedy and music.

Please note: this is an outside performance so please do bring your own rugs and cushions to sit on. If the weather is bad, then we will move the performance into the Main Hall.
