As You Like It is one of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies. In this amazing production, love, injustice, humour, marriage and a string of peculiar, highly entertaining encounters take place in a psychedelic forest. Join the characters, escape from the restrictions of everyday life and enter the Forest of Arden. Bring a picnic and experience a magical night in Kings Park. Let the power and fun of Shakespeare in the Park prove to you that “All the world’s a Stage”. The perfect Christmas present!When her father, a duke, is suddenly banished, Rosalind is forced to flee for the Forest of Arden to escape her malevolent uncle. Joining Rosalind on her flight to the forest is her cousin Celia, who helps to pass her incognito cousin off as a man in order to avoid detection. Later, Rosalind’s clever disguise begins to serve a duel purpose when she decides to use the disguise to gauge the devotion of Orlando, yet another exile attempting to escape his brother Oliver by winning his fortune in a wrestling match. Rosalind, Celia, Orlando and the Court Jester all end up in the Forest of Arden, where the deposed Duke holds court.
