Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory present
AS YOU LIKE IT
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Andrew Hilton

Schools’ matinee Thurs 1.30pm
Sat matinee 2.30pm

Following their hugely successful productions of The Comedy of Errors and Two Gentlemen of Verona, Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory, Bristol’s internationally-renowned ensemble company, return for their 3rd visit to the Exeter Northcott Theatre with one of theatre’s most celebrated comedies.

Expelled from the city, Rosalind and Orlando – the one fleeing a tyrranous uncle, the other a murderous brother – rediscover each other in the Forest of Arden. But what awaits them in that Arcadian wilderness? Will they find true love, or just lose themselves? Are they merely players in a pastoral fantasy, or do they have a real and rare opportunity – to explore the reality of their feelings free from all the normal constrictions of courtly convention and parental oversight?

Both funny and moving, and enjoying some of his finest lyrics and most flamboyant characters, this is Shakespeare’s greatest exploration of the meaning of love, its madness and transcendence.
