The Festival Players present Shakespeare's As You Like it

The Festival Players present Shakespeare's As You Like it
As You Like It is probably Shakespeares most entrancing romantic comedy. Rosalind, the daughter of a displaced Duke, is banished from the court by her Fathers 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. Advance Tickets: Adult 17 and under 18 years 10 -- On the door on the evening (if still available) they will cost 20 and 13 respectively. About: The Festival Players Theatre Company is now well established as a professional company delivering the best in open-air Shakespeare. It continues to grow in reputation internationally. 2014 saw a change to the Festival Players set up; the company now tours as an all-male rep company staging two shows featuring the same team of performers.
