The Festival Players Theatre Company returns to Ramsden for the annual production of Shakespeare at Cherry Tree Cottage.

As You Like It is probably Shakespeare’s most entrancing romantic comedy. Rosalind, the daughter of a displaced Duke, is banished from the court by her Father’s brother. Along with her cousin Celia, she escapes to the Forest of Arden and disguises herself as a man. She teases Orlando, a young man, who does not recognise her as the girl he loved at a distance. The pastoral world of the Forest is inhabited with a colourful array of folk, looking for love, and woven into this delightful tale, full of comedy and music.

Hosted again in the beautiful surroundings of Cherry Tree Cottage, High Street, tickets cost £25 per head, and school-age children are free. The play is fully sponsored so ALL ticket proceeds raise funds for The Story Museum.

Gates will open for picnics at 17:30 and the play will start at 19:30. There will be interval refreshments and the now standard Shakespeare quiz, so mug up on all things Shakespeare for the chance to win a bottle of fizz and some Story Museum goodies.
