WITH a number of great reviews already under its belt, The Royal Shakespeare Company’s excellent production of As You Like It will be broadcast live at Theatr Mwldan on Tuesday, May 7 (7pm).
Come into the forest; dare to change your state of mind. Rosalind is banished, wrestling with her heart and her head. 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.
What ensues is a riotous combination of a feisty cross-dressing heroine, a tartan-clad fool, melodic songs, questionable poetry and laughs aplenty. Will love conquer all, or is it merely a madness?
Director Kimberley Sykes (Dido, Queen of Carthage) directs a riotous, exhilarating version of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy.
“Inventive, playful, captivating ... a bonkers trip to the Forest of Arden. A sublime central performance from Lucy Phelps as Rosalind’, “ writes the Daily Telegraph, while The Guardian says: “Lucy Phelps’s Rosalind is the show’s heart and focal point, and a genuinely modern heroine.”
Tickets for RSC: As You Like It on Tuesday, 7 May at 7pm are £12.50 (£11.50) and are available now from Theatr Mwldan’s box office on 01239 621200, online at mwldan.co.uk or via the Mwldan app.
