As You Like It - 2019 - West End Articles Page 15

Unstrung Harpist Productions has announced its upcoming performances of William Shakespeare's As You Like It, produced in conjunction with the Frederick Shakespeare Festival.

Arlekin Players Theatre’s production of “Our Class” led the winners at this year’s Lucille Lortel Awards, presented at New York University on May 4, where the play, by Tadeusz Słobodzianek and adapted by Norman Allen, was honored as Best Revival.

A play within a play is not a new concept, but Say It Again, Sorry’s ...Earnest? brings something quite new to the stage. Having come a long way since its premiere at Islington's Pleasance in 2019, the show follows a rather tortuous production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest which loses cast members one by one, only to replace them with unsuspecting members of the audience.

BroadwayWorld sat down with ballet dancer Andrei Chagas about how his foray into musical theater changed him as a dancer, and what audiences can expect of the latest production of Swan Lake, which will run at the Segerstrom June 20-22 before moving to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion June 26-29.

“I have had a most rare vision. I had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was…” Like Nick Bottom (and the lovers), stepping out of the Bridge Theatre auditorium after a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream does feel like you are waking up from some kind of reverie. Even if you’ve been sat down instead of promenading, the performance space is designed so well that everyone feels immersed in the world of the play. Nicholas Hytner’s production of the Shakespeare classic was something of a revelation in 2019, and it feels just as bold six years on.
