Newcastle’s parks will come alive under the stars in February with this exciting and romantic production of Shakespeare’s classical pastoral comedy. As You Like It is a whimsical play full of humour, cross-dressing, family tensions, love at first sight, mistaken identities and hilarious clowning, and features the famous “all the world’s a stage” speech.
Adapted and directed by Carl Young, one of Newcastle’s brightest young talents, this very Australian As You Like It will entertain and delight audiences of all ages in the open-air at two of our city’s favourite relaxation spots. Bring a rug, and join your family and friends in this joyous celebration of life and love.
This production runs for approximately two hours, with an interval. It is recommended for people of all ages, especially those with a sunny disposition.
