The renowned all-male touring group, the Festival Players, return to Kingsclere Village Club with As You Like It. This is probably Shakespeare?s most entrancing romantic comedy. Rosalind, the daughter of a displaced Duke, is banished from the court by her Father?s 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.
As this is an outdoor performance we recommend you bring jacket/blanket etc in case the evening turns chilly. Chairs provided and bar available. Indoors if wet.
If you order the picnic option, please let us know of any dietary requirements. Please note: only picnics purchased from us may be consumed on the premises.
