Authentic performance

For this unique theatrical experience, audiences are encouraged to bring a chair, a picnic and a glass of something chilled as the show promises to be another authentic, excellent and magical treat from the company that brought you 2020’s sell-out smash production of Macbeth.

Stylish and accessible productions

Stickney: We hope you can join us for it
Talking about the thrill of seeing theatre in the open air, Peter Stickney, Artistic Director and Producer says,

“As You Like It is a wonderfully warm, funny and rich play.

“There is something particularly special about enjoying this story of the joys of nature and its powers of rejuvenation and rebirth whilst sat amongst the trees with grass under foot and a star-filled night sky above us.

“Truly magical. We hope you can join us for it.”
