Read on to find out what you can enjoy in the local area this weekend...

As You Like It

Shakespeare's As You Like It will be on at Tolethorpe Hall from June until 19 August 2023. 

Forced into exile in the Forest of Arden, lovers Rosalind and Orlando become entangled in a beguiling game of love, lust and mistaken identity. Rarely performed in his lifetime, this play has become one of Shakespeare's most accessible and enjoyable comedies.  

Reimagined as a story from the Summer of Love, As You Like It blends a feisty cross-dressing heroine with a wisecracking fool, melodic songs, questionable poetry and laughs aplenty. Will love conquer all, or is it merely a summer madness? 

Book your weekend performance days and times here.
