As You Like It

Commissioned by Leicester’s spectacular new Curve theatre to produce Shakespeare’s bitter-sweet comedy of exile and homelessness, director Tim Supple undertook extensive research here at home into our immensely rich and diverse acting community for his production of As You Like It. And just as the play reflects a vivid and true image of England then, the As You Like It cast reflected our England now and came from all over the globe: Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Jamaica, New Orleans, Malaysia, Manipur, Armenia, Greece, Syria, Cornwall and Leicester itself.
