As You Like It - Outdoor Theatre by Illyria
International award-winning Illyria promises a memorable night of sparkling wit, laughter and romance under the stars in Shakespeare's iconic comedy.
- Booking essential
- Admission applies
Four pairs of soulmates meet in the Forest of Arden. One pair leap straight into bed. Another pair are dumbstruck by each other’s beauty. The third pair torment each other. The fourth pair go further still, playfully blurring their roles and identities to such an extent that flirting becomes more pain than pleasure, and Love itself is pushed to the limit of endurance – and beyond. International award-winning Illyria has an unmatched reputation for excellence, forged over three decades, that dominates the outdoor touring theatre sector. Join them this summer for a memorable night of laughter and romance under the stars.
