As You Like It

Overview

It doesn't matter whether you’re a high school student and learning the ropes of Shakespeare, a connoisseur who reads him religiously in your past time, or simply someone with an affinity for charming prose - everyone can recognise Will’s signature words.

If the quotes “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?”, “Out damn spot!” and “All the world’s a stage” pique your interest,  how does a production of As You Like It sound? La Boite Theatre Company are putting on their third Shakespearean installment in as many years, and it's going to be a big one.

For those who need a brush up on the storyline, As You Like It sees characters Rosalind, Cecelia and Touchstone the Jester flee into the Forest of Arden where love and lust, cross-dressing and mischievous activities occur. The cast chosen to bring this particular production to life are a mixture of professional actors such as leads Helen Howard and Thomas Larkin, plus the best QUT and SIT have to offer.

Artistic Director David Berthold has said this is La Boite’s biggest production to date and many also regard As You Like It as Shakespeare’s most humorous work, so disregard Shakespeare’s cry about 'too much of a good thing' and pick up your tickets quick sticks.
