Shakespeare’s
As You Like It
at Jimmy’s Farm
One of Shakespeare’s most bewitching comedies, featuring some of his best-loved characters. Forget the rules of romance…Orlando & Rosalind have their own ideas! Escape with us into the magical woodland of Jimmy’s Farm to enjoy a world of unforgettable adventure. Full of rivalry, redemption and a most-unexpected wedding!
Packed with engaging energy, music and dance – Theatre in the Forest is an ideal introduction to Shakespeare for all-ages and a must-see event of the summer!
==================================================================
Such a magical setting for theatre, past the animals at Jimmy's Farm and into the woodland area where my neighbour/friendA and I got comfy in the permanent tiered seating. In a small area in front people could bring their own chairs and some had even brought little tables and were having a picnic, while other seats were reserved for those booked to have dinner first in the restaurant then arrive in time for the show.
It was a lovely warm evening but we were pleased we'd thought to bring a cushion each to sit on as the plastic chairs were chilly. We'd also packed fleeces and scarves and by half time these were all out of our bags and saving us from shivers.
All the actors were incredibly energetic and so enthusiastic delivering pure Shakespeare dialogue (such a lot of words for them to learn). It was hilarious and confusing and switched from wrestling matches and Dukes at court and banishment to the forest to suddenly being all wild west cowboy camp fire. They encouraged lots of audience noise and cheering and singing along. It was a lot of fun.
So now I've seen where we have lost R to for the past six weeks as for this performance she is one of the main volunteers and Assistant Stage Manager so has been there for every performance. She's so confident there and does a great job.

Love that R has been so involved and managed the whole run. We've never managed to make any of their performances but they've always sounded great.
At the rap party last night she was awarded "volunteer of the year" :-)
Just delivered her there for the very last performance and she's there till 11:30pm for packing up.
