This year's Stratford Festival event features a performance of Shakespeare's As You Like It!

Beloved for its wit and banter, As You Like It promises classic Shakespearean comedy befitting of modern audiences.

About the Play:
The Forest of Arden, reimagined in this production, sees its pastoral calm upended by the arrival of a motley cast of courtiers, fools, dukes and ladies exiled from the pitiless world of court politics and dynastic succession. The latest arrivals: Orlando, banished by his cruel older brother after their father’s death, and Rosalind who, in her attempt to flee an equally cruel uncle, arrives on the scene disguised as a boy. When Orlando and Rosalind fall for one another, the question then becomes, can Orlando recognize the object of his affection through her cunning disguise and Arden’s shaded vales? 

Tickets: $180/person
