Kimberley Sykes, mise en scène

Rosalind is banished from Court. With her best friend Celia by her side she journeys to a world of exile. But not before catching the eye of love-struck Orlando, who is also forced from the Court into the Forest. 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? Kimberley Sykes directs this playful and passionate version of Shakespeare’s much-loved romantic comedy.
