AS YOU LIKE IT to be Performed in Savill Garden

Run away with the circus this summer and weave your way through an array of hidden gardens and spectacular lawns at The Savill Garden in this immersive production of Shakespeare's much loved 'As You Like it' from 22 June to 24 July 2016.

Forced into exile by their own families, heroine Rosalind and Orlando, a young gentleman of the kingdom, venture deep into the Forest of Arden where they encounter 'The Golden Age'; a mesmerising travelling circus which has taken up residence beneath the canopy. Masquerading as Ganymede, Rosalind embarks on a journey of love lessons and romantic trickery, before stumbling across one of Duke Senior's noblemen, Jacques, who fully embraces the circus folk and continually reflects on the futility of life and love as a motley fool.

A story of transformation, 'As You Like It' challenges conventional ideas of love and lust, blurs gender roles and muses on the absurdity of life in this brilliant pastoral comedy. The play unfolds in Britain's finest ornamental garden and concludes extravagantly with a triple wedding where the audience and company are encouraged to come together in a boisterous, acrobatic, musical celebration indulging in food and drink from the finest local suppliers.

'As You Like It' will celebrate the best of the British summertime with a delicious BBQ served during the final wedding scene provided by award-winning caterers Leiths, whose mouth-watering menu will provide a sensational finale to the performance. Drinks with also be available to purchase, as a hidden bush bar serving everything from a Fever Tree and Sipsmiths G&T to Pol Roger Champagne, to a nice cold beer from the local Windsor and Eton Brewery, will be popping up throughout the play. And if a tempting snack is more your style, Propercorn will be providing audiences with their tasty popcorn during the circus scene, with lots of other delicious nibbles available throughout the performance.
