THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA,
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Shakespeare: As You Like It
Naomi Frederick (Rosalind); Jack Laskey (Orlando); Dominic Rowan (Touchstone); Tim McMullan (Jaques); Laura Rogers (Celia); Jamie Parker (Oliver); Ewart James Walters (Hymen); Jade Williams (Phoebe); Philip Bird (Duke Senior); Peter Gale (Amiens); Michael Benz (Silvius); Sophie Duval (Audrey)
Thea Sharrock’s irresistible new production of Shakespeare’s popular romantic comedy stirs wit, sentiment, intrigue and love into a charming confection which challenges the traditional rules of romance. At its heart, a feisty but feminine Rosalind (Naomi Frederick), in love with the endearingly naïve Orlando (Jack Laskey), uses her disguise as Ganymede to counsel him playfully in the art of wooing. Distraction is provided by Dominic Rowan, a remarkably funny Touchstone, and Tim McMullan, whose sonorous tones are perfectly suited to the lugubrious wit of Jaques. Filmed in High Definition and true surround sound.

"Naomi Frederick's superb Rosalind is a woman of wit and intelligence... Laskey's Orlando is equally bewitched, bothered and bewildered, and the playfulness between the two is a pleasure." (The Guardian)
"This is an As You Like It bursting with youth and vigour" (The Independent)
"When Jaques delivers his great Seven Ages of Man speech, beginning "All the world's a stage", it seems to have been written explicitly for the Globe, and as if Shakespeare had wanted his audience to make the connection between the name of the theatre and the line the actor utters." (The Telegraph ★★★★)
