'All
the world's a stage'
Jaques'
famous speech might be the theme for this year's Shakespeare
Festival. Both our comedies feature a leading character
in the role of director and manipulator, and both our
comedies will provide you with a magical, theatrical
experience.
As
You Like It has Rosalind, one of Shakespeare's greatest
female characters, but disguised as a boy, desperately
trying to hold on to her beloved Orlando, and, at the
same time, shake off the country wench Phoebe. The Forest
of Arden provides good company, with the melancholy
Jaques and the city clown, Touchstone. Whilst in The
Tempest, Shakespeare's last great comedy, we have
Prospero, trying, with the aid of the spirit Ariel,
to secure the marriage of Miranda and Ferdinand, and
to revenge an old wrong.
As You Like It not only illustrates that people
can and do change, but also celebrates their ability
to change for the better. Certainly, the transformations
have much to do with the restorative, almost magical
effects of life in the forest. What gives The Tempest
its hypnotic, magical atmosphere is the series of dreamlike
events it stages, such as the storm, the magical banquet,
and the wedding masque.
Accompanied
by glorious live music, these two comedies present a
feast for the eye and the ear and will remind you of
the magical theatricality of Shakespeare's story-telling.
Pendley's 58th Season promises to be full of lightness,
love and laughter.
