About the event
Experience a ‘burst of late summer sun’ ★★★★ (Time Out) in the Globe Theatre with Shakespeare’s love-struck comedy As You Like It, that’s packed with ‘fizzing chemistry’ ★★★★ (WhatsOnStage). Watch as an eighteenth-century court transforms into a forest of freedom, painted live on stage every performance, and join us for ‘an entertaining frolic in the woods’ ★★★★★ (London Theatre Reviews). Rosalind is suffocating in the newly reigning Duke’s court. Surrounded by high wigs and even higher tempers, when egos come to a head, Rosalind and Celia flee into the Forest of Arden. They arrive, stumbling into a world where opposites attract, revelry is king and love is easy to find, if hard to recognise… Co-directed by ★★★★★ ‘powerhouse team’ (The Reviews Hub) Sean Holmes (Romeo and Juliet, Pinocchio, Globe) and Charlie Josephine (Pinocchio, Globe, Cowbois, RSC/Royal Court), discover this bold take on Shakespeare’s famous comedy. “We that are true lovers run into strange capers.” Act II, scene 4
