As You Like It
15 August – 6 September
The Ralph Fiennes / Theatre Royal Bath season continues with William Shakespeare’s timeless comedy, directed by Ralph Fiennes. Dylan Moran, Patrick Robinson and Charlie Rowe join the previously announced Dame Harriet Walter and Gloria Obianyo in the new production of Shakespeare’s comedy AS YOU LIKE IT.
For Rosalind and Orlando, it is love at first sight, but family feuds are destined to keep the young would-be lovers apart. When Rosalind is banished, she and her cousin Celia escape to the Forest of Arden, where they find that the possibilities for love and connection are infinite.
