As You Like It

By William Shakespeare | Directed by Ruth Gilmour Love, disguise and a whole lot of mischief as Shakespeare's classic comedy gets a fresh twist! We strip back the frills and dive into the heart of the Forest of Arden, where romance blooms, gender bends and everyone finds out who they really are.

Synopsis

'All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players.'

Banished from court, Rosalind escapes into the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia, disguising herself as a young man to survive. There, in a world turned upside down, lovers collide, identities blur and people begin to discover who they really are beneath the roles they've been forced to play.

As You Like It is one of Shakespeare's most joyful and accessible comedies; full of wit, romance, music and transformation. Beneath the humour, however, lies a deeper question – are we defined by the roles society gives us, or by who we truly are?
