AS YOU LIKE IT, a meta-theatrical spin on Shakespeare's classic rom-com play and the Clare May Week Play 2026, is reopening for the role of FREDERICK!

Synopsis: 
'As You Like It' follows Rosalind - a genderqueer/female theatrical director and writer - after her Uncle Ferdinand usurps her father's Artistic Director position in their theatre. What follows is an escape to Arden, the forest of arts, a non-conforming theatrical space where Rosalind (now the handsome Ganymede) is able to claim her place as a theatremaker and centre her own experiences as director and manipulator, deconstructing the gendered and artistic experience native to her until now. Among the backdrop of love stories she directs, her artistic practice comes into direct collision with her own love story with wannabe actor Orlando.
