Join us for a ‘joyous’ ★★★★ (Time Out), ‘exuberant’ ★★★★ (Daily Telegraph) celebration of love, friendship and freedom in Shakespeare’s As You Like It, now playing in the Globe Theatre until 29 October.
In the court of Duke Frederick, division and distrust are rife. When Rosalind is banished, she runs away with her cousin Celia to the Forest of Arden. No longer governed by the court’s strict rules, they take the opportunity to explore new identities and find that the forest is a place where the possibilities for love and connection are infinite.
In this ancient community of nature, unexpected friendships are forged, curious minds meet, bitter enemies reconcile, and strangers fall in love. So meet us in our wooden ‘O’ and who knows what – or who – you might find?
Director Ellen McDougall‘s ‘delightful’ ★★★★ (Daily Mail) production is ‘a pleasure…bringing an infusion of warmth’ ★★★★ (Evening Standard) to the end of the summer.
We that are true lovers run into strange capers
