Venue

Shakespeare's Globe

Run wild and free in the muddy magic of the woods this summer with this euphoric new production of Shakespeare’s As You Like It in the Globe Theatre.

When the Duke’s court proves cold and cruel, Rosalind, Celia and their friends escape into the Forest of Arden – a place alive with joy, music and unexpected possibilities

Co-directed by Sean Holmes (Romeo And Juliet, Pinocchio, Globe) and Charlie Josephine (Pinocchio, Globe, Cowbois, RSC/Royal Court), this bold new As You Like It pulses with lust, revelry, and live music.

Join the party as the Globe stage becomes a forest festival of self discovery, where closed hearts open and love is limitless.
