Melbourne Shakespeare Company: As You Like It
10 December @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm AEDT

This December, the Melbourne Shakespeare Company are back in the Rose Garden, and things are getting gloriously out of hand. Get ready for an enchanting new musical reimagining of Shakespeare’s As You Like It, an outdoor spectacular bursting with pop hits, slapstick shenanigans and more decadence than a Versailles tea party.
When Rosalind gets kicked out of her uncle’s court, she flees to the Forest of Arden with her bestie in tow and finds herself in a world where love, laughter and liberation run wild. Cue hilarious disguises, swooning lovers and a forest full of fools. Expect high energy, high camp and high fun. A queer celebration of individuality, identity and the joy of letting yourself run a little wild.
Pack a picnic, bring your people, and join them under the stars for a summer night of romance, revelry and ridiculousness.
