🌳 LOVE, LUST, CONFUSION… AND A FOREST FULL OF SHAKESPEARE

This Bank Holiday Monday, escape to the Forest of Arden with Illyria’s As You Like It at Chiddingstone Castle.

Four pairs of lovers. Four very different ideas about love. A little cross-dressing, mistaken identity, romantic chaos and plenty of Shakespearean mischief.

With a five-strong cast of classically trained actors, Illyria brings this much-loved comedy to life in the great outdoors – exactly where Shakespeare’s magical forest belongs.

Expect laughter, romance, tangled identities and a few surprises, all under the open sky at one of Kent’s most beautiful historic settings.

AS YOU LIKE IT, Illyria Theatre Company
Mon 31 Aug, 3pm, Chiddingstone Castle

Perfect Bank Holiday theatre for Shakespeare fans, outdoor theatre lovers and anyone who enjoys their romance with a healthy dose of chaos.
