About the Show
Love is merely a maddness.
Rosalind is banished and 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 (Dido, Queen of Carthage, 2017) directs this playful and passionate version of Shakespeare’s much-loved romantic comedy, which features as part of the RSC Season.
