As You Like It, which features one of Shakespeare?s most famous quotes ?All the world?s a stage and all the men and women merely players? is a firm favourite from the Bard?s formidable repertoire, penned around 1599. It sees love blossom for several couples in the Forest of Arden, where the exiled Duke Ferdinand has fled. His daughter Rosalind and her cousin Celia follow him there, in disguise, Rosalind taking on the persona of a boy, Ganymede. They are accompanied by court jester Touchstone. Ganymede is encountered by Orlando, already lovesick for Rosalind. Shepherds and goatherds also join in the sylvan drama of love, betrayal and mistaken identity.


Between May 30 -September 4 there will be 56 performances of As You Like It at locations from castles and abbeys to National Trust for Scotland properties, Shakespeare?s own Stratford upon Avon and the medieval courtyard of Gloucester?s New Inn, where Shakespeare and his company Lord Chamberlain?s Men are said to have performed themselves.


Says Dyer: ?It will be a colourfully costumed two hour show full of love, laughter and lyricism and engaging characters, featuring songs set to original music ? perfect entertainment for a summer?s evening.?


It will be Dyer?s 11th all-male production in a row for the Players. ?It is of course totally authentic - we are following in the footsteps of Shakespeare?s own Globe Theatre when all roles were taken by men. The Players have built a reputation for strong, all-male shows over the past decade.?

    • I have a lovely photo of my son and husband which I would love to have painted as a Christmas gift. Can anyone recommend anyone locally who might do this? Many thanks 
    • Second recommendation for Fiona’s, my dog has been going there for a couple of years and loves it! Great team 
    • I would recommend Fiona's Diggidy Daycare which is in Loughborough Junction but they offer pick up and drop off services when they have capacity.  My dog has been going there for 3 years and loves it. 
    • Ask him politely if you can help him.  I remember staring at my old flat.  Can I help you a neighbour asked.  Yes I said, I had seen that they have split it into two flats. And we had a chat about it.   Edited to add - if they are doing this in plain site then it sounds harmless, but it would be good manners to knock on your door.  In our area there is someone well known on X that walks up and down taking pictures of anything out of the ordinary, often quite trivial, supposedly for laughs.  I could speculate who the owner could be, a creative or a gangster, but that would not be appropriate!
