Illyria and Theatr Mwldan present As You Like It
|
In 2011, Illyria raised the bar for the major UK open-air touring theatre companies by becoming the first and only one to add Opera to its regular season and they’re back at the Welsh Wildlife Centre, Cilgerran on Sunday 18th August at 7pm with William Shakespeare’s As You Like It.
As You Like It is Shakespeare's ultimate romantic comedy. Four people each find their perfect soulmates in the Forest of Arden. One pair leap straight into bed, another are instantly struck by each other's beauty, the third tease each other endlessly - while the fourth enjoy a courtship that is so witty and playful that Love itself is stretched to the limit. But pitted against political intrigue, multiple disguises and overwhelming cynicism, can even Love win through in the end...?
With its many pearls of wisdom, glittering repartee and gloriously happy ending this is not only one of Shakespeare's most popular plays but also the perfect comedy for a summer's evening. For authenticity the production is performed on a stage based on those used by 16th-century touring companies.
Tickets for As You Like It on Sunday the 18th of August at 7.00pm at the Welsh Wildlife Centre, Cilgerran are £13 (£11 concessions, £9 child) and can be booked as usual by calling 01239 621200 or online at www.mwldan.co.uk. Smartphone users can book by visiting mwldan.ticketsolve.com/mobile.
