Run wild in the magical (and muddy) woods in the Forest of Arden, with this euphoric new adaptation of the classic comedy. Playing a strictly limited run at Shakespeare’s Globe, book your official tickets to As You Like It today!
When the Duke’s court proves cold and cruel, Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee the intrigues of power and banishment, disguising themselves and seeking refuge in the Forest of Arden, a world that stands in vivid contrast to the rigidity of the court they leave behind. In this green and generous landscape, lovers lose and find one another, identities are tested and transformed, and sharp wit gives way to playfulness and song. Rosalind, hidden in disguise, orchestrates games of love and self-discovery, guiding others toward honesty while exploring her own desires. As shepherds, courtiers, exiles, and fools mingle beneath the trees, the forest becomes a space of freedom and renewal, where hardship softens into comedy and harmony is ultimately restored.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a roofless (open air) theatre. Performances go ahead in all conditions so dress for the weather!

Did you know that August originally only had only 30 days? However, Augustus, the Roman Emperor after whom August is named, did not want his month to be shorter than Julius Caesar’s month (July). So he added one day to August, making it the same length as his Caeser’s. Thanks to Augustus’ self-consciousness, we have a whole extra day to see some fantastic shows! Which is great news as a whole host of brand-new productions will be hitting the West End this month. From red-hot Argentinian dance moves in La Bamba, to the ice cool Death Note – The Musical, whether you’re a Roman Emperor or hold a lesser title, there is something for everyone!
