It’s romance as you like it at Williamstown Botanic Gardens

Australia’s leading outdoor Shakespeare company, OZACT, will perform its new production of As You Like It in the idyllic setting of Williamstown Botanic Gardens this month.

Shakespeare’s comedy is an exploration of love set in court and country and will be performed at 3pm on March 14, 15, 21 and 22.

Directed by Bruce Widdop, the cast includes performers from Melbourne and regional Victoria.

“This production is a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare, to OZACT’s unique brand of outdoor production and to one of Victoria’s most spectacular garden locations,” Widdop said.

“Bring a rug, cushion and someone you love – or a group of people you love – and escape to the fantastical Forest of Arden to share with courtiers and countryfolk, philosophers and clowns the camaraderie, comedy, trials and triumphs of love as you like it.”

Tickets are $35 or $30 concession and $20 for children.
