Make the most of Summer – while it lasts! Outdoor Shakespeare “As You Like It” visits Mount Grace Priory

Sunday 19th August at 7.30pm

In this summer of celebration and sport, be sure to enjoy the sunshine and see the great Bard’s

romantic and light-hearted comedy As You Like It! - given the Rain or Shine treatment!

Witness the many ingredients of Shakespearian fare :
A court in turmoil and a forest at peace… A banished Duke and his villainous twin… A cross-dressing heroine and her gooseberry friend… An honest man and his wicked brother… A jester, a philosopher, wenches and shepherds… A wrestling match with a twist and songs a plenty!

So come along, sit back, relax and enjoy the show as we tell it “As You Like It!”
