Overview
Come and lose yourself (and probably your heart) in the forest of Arden with the King’s Shakespeare Company this April!
Rosalind, the daughter of the unjustly exiled Duke Senior, has fallen in love with Orlando, a courtier deprived of his birthright by his brother. When Rosalind is banished by the usurping Duke Frederick she escapes to the Forest of Arden, dressed as a boy, along with her cousin and their clown. In a forest filled with exiles, shepherds, fools, poets, and lovers, Rosalind - still disguised as a boy - finds Orlando again and counsels him on the art of love.
With a small cast and a reduced script this is one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies at its best. Filled with joy, music, and spring-time happiness, you won't want to miss it!
