Kimberley Sykes (Dido, Queen of Carthage) directs a riotous, exhilarating version of Shakespeare's gender-swapping romantic comedy. Rosalind is banished, wrestling with her heart and her head. In the forest, she is disguised as Ganymede and encounters her lover Orlando who doesn’t’ recognize her, but joins him in a playful challenge. With her cousin by her side, she journeys to a world of exile where barriers are broken down and all can discover their deeper selves. Featuring an acclaimed lead performance by Lucy Phelps as Rosalind, who The Guardian calls “the show’s heart and focal point, and a genuinely modern heroine.”

Includes one intermission.
