17 September 2010
to 16 October 2010 Quarry Theatre
Exiled from Court, Duke Senior and his followers find freedom in the Forest of Arden, whilst his irrepressible daughter Rosalind, finds freedom of a different kind as she pursues love in disguise.
In Rehearsal
Hiding in the Forest of Arden with her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone, Rosalind disguises herself as a boy and sets out to find her father. When her true love Orlando shows up, leaving love notes and carving her name in trees, Rosalind keeps up her disguise to test his love.
With everything from cross-dressing to wrestling, philosophy to slapstick, As You Like It is one of Shakespeare’s most popular, funny, sunny, song filled plays; crammed full of beautiful poetry and
heartfelt passions.
