As You Like It: The First Reviews

We were extremely proud to open a Stafford Festival Shakespeare production on tour for the first time on Saturday at Ludlow Castle. The audience gave As You Like It a wonderful response and here's what the reviews have to say so far...

Virtual Shropshire hailed the production as "Shakespearean excellence" and praised Georgina White's performance as Rosalind, saying she "takes to the part as if Shakespeare had written it for her". Virutal Shropshire also highlighted Eric Potts' "marvellous" performance John Challis' iconic All The World's A Stage speech as a "lovely moment". You can read the full review here

The Hereford Times called it an "enchanting performance"  and were much impressed by the "strength of the entire ensemble"  of "brilliant actor musicians" adding it was "open air theatre at its absolute best". You can read the full review here.

The Shropshire Star had high praise for John Challis' "triumphant and majestic" performance, while Eric Potts was "a barrelful of laughs". The paper also noted Jennifer Greenwood as a stand out "putting in a performance of high quality". You can read the full review here.

As You Like It transfers to Stafford Castle on Sunday 29th June and will run until Saturday 12th July. You can book your tickets here
