'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players'

As You Like It is back!

2015 has given us many highlights already but our most popular event was no doubt this one. Don't worry if you missed it - we're bringing it back.

Earlier in June, our members came out saying this -

"The play was amazing :" - "Excellent!" - "Loved it and would love to see it again" - "A superb performance" - "Absolutely brilliant :-)" - "I enjoyed it so much that I went back the next day."

With "All the world’s a stage" given a hilarious rendition, evocative music and dance, plus a leading man removing more than his tunic and smock, this production has all you'd expect from the Globe and a little bit more!

Quintessentially Elizabethan, 'As You Like It' runs the gamut of pastoral romance, with cross-dressing and brilliant conversation.

Very reminiscent of 'Shakespeare In Love', as a bonus this production stars the brilliant Michelle Terry as Rosalind.

For the historically minded, As You Like It is the play that opened the Globe in 1599 with one William Shakespeare himself in the role of Adam.

This evening performance will bring that world back vividly to life.
