As You Like It at Stratford Festival

Sunday, September 21
Festival Theatre
11:30 am - Lunch
2:00 pm - Show

This year's Stratford Festival event features a performance of Shakespeare's As You Like It! Join us for a delicious plated lunch, a lecture by King's Professor Dr. Paul Werstine '70, and premium-level seating at a matinee performance. Beloved for its wit and banter, As You Like It promises classic Shakespearean comedy befitting of modern audiences.

There are a limited number of tickets, and this event always sells out, so don't wait to reserve your seat! Sorry, no refunds.


The Forest of Arden, reimagined in this production, sees its pastoral calm upended by the arrival of a motley cast of courtiers, fools, dukes and ladies exiled from the pitiless world of court politics and dynastic succession. The latest arrivals: Orlando, banished by his cruel older brother after their father’s death, and Rosalind who, in her attempt to flee an equally cruel uncle, arrives on the scene disguised as a boy. When Orlando and Rosalind fall for one another, the question then becomes, can Orlando recognize the object of his affection through her cunning disguise and Arden’s shaded vales? 

Tickets: $180/person
