“…look into happiness through another man’s eyes!”
The Duke’s Theatre Company returns for another fantastic Shakespeare performance, bringing As You Like It to Trebah's amphitheatre this summer.
The ancient Forest of Arden serves as the backdrop for Shakespeare’s most famous and quotable comedy. When Rosalind is banished from Duke Ferdinand’s court, new identities are explored with hilarious consequences.
Music, mayhem and madness thrill as we are shown that “All the world’s a stage”.
Back for a fourth Summer Season, The Duke’s Theatre Co follow their acclaimed tours of Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night. Kevin Bennett, (Shakespeare’s Globe, Stratford Festival, Ontario) directs this brand-new tour, making sure this As You Like It will live on in your memory “forever and a day”.
Reviews: 5 star “TDTC sets a new standard for open air theatre” – BBC Radio Wiltshire 5 star “The humour, (especially the humour) is impeccably presented” – Hastings Independent
