As You Like It
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Ruth Gilmour
​
About the play
​
'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.'
​
Rosalind, banished by her cruel uncle, travels secretly to the Forest of Arden, where her exiled father holds court. There, dressed as a boy to avoid discovery, she encounters the man she loves - now a fellow exile - and resolves to remain in disguise to test his feelings for her.
​
One of Shakespeare's most sunny, fast-paved and accessible comedies, As You Like It is an exuberant combination of concealed idnetites and verbal jousting, burlesque and pastoral dream, reconciliations and multiple weddings.

Rehearsal Commitment: Being part of a production is a shared commitment, and we strive to create a supportive and enjoyable environment for everyone involved. We ask that cast members prioritise rehearsals and communicate any availability issues early so we can plan effectively as a group. Where attendance becomes inconsistent or communication is limited, we may need to review casting to ensure the production can continue smoothly.
