Tatty Hennessy News

Paul Roseby OBE, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain (NYT) has today announced the summer and autumn season of work for 2018.

As You Like It - wit, wisdom and flaws - done in the squares of London on beautiful summer evenings, What's not to like?

The squares themselves are the biggest challenge and delight of these productions. They're absolutely beautiful, totally individual and not designed for performances at all. We keep light on our feet with a stripped-back set, minimal lighting and no recorded sound or amplification. We have to be the most interesting thing in the square, so a clear, bright design concept that we can convey immediately through costume and characterisation works wonders.

Shakespeare in the Squares has released rehearsal images for its 2018 production of As You Like It, touring to London's squares and parks from 20 June to 13 July. Tatty Hennessy directs Jack Brett (Orlando), Comfort Fabian (Celia), Jodie Jacobs (Audrey/Adam), Sian Martin (Jaques), Katharine Moraz (Rosalind), Stanton Plummer Cambridge (Oliver/Corin), Julia Righton (Duchess Senior/ Duchess Frederick), Sydney K. Smith (Touchstone) Emmy Stonelake (Phoebe/Amiens) and Lamin Touray (Charles/Silvius).
