What’s On As You Like It
Step into a world of Kentish tramps and colourful characters
This year’s outdoor theatre production draws its inspiration from Kent Rural life in the 1950’s.
Many Kent woods were home to local characters, casual labourers and the homeless long before they became the housing estates, supermarkets and petrol stations we know today.
Shakespeare drew on similar themes in As You Like It, writing about a time when the English countryside was being rapidly transformed. The royal forests were being privatised and cut down and common land enclosed and turned into fields for sheep.
A whole way of life was being destroyed. Commoners and squatters who had lived in the woods for generations found their rights suddenly extinguished.
The Hazlitt Arts Centre in conjunction with Changeling Theatre are well known for producing Shakespeare in a fresh and
dynamic way; perfect for everyone of all ages to enjoy.
