Credited with making Shakespeare 'cool' and 'wicked' by teenagers across
the South West, Westcountry Theatre Company (WTC) are delighted to be
returning to The Minack bringing their particular brand of clarity and energy
to create a perfect evening of open-air theatre.
Rosalind finds herself a fugitive, like her father, in the Forest of Arden along
with her cousin, Celia and the court clown, Touchstone. Having been banished
by her uncle from court, she decides to disguise herself as a man and the three
of them head for the pastoral life. Rosalind though, has her mind on things
other than keeping sheep. She has fallen in love with Orlando, who strangely
enough is also hiding in the forest! Her father’s court are attempting to live
like Robin Hood and local country folk are trying to get on with normal life.
A lot going on? Well, after all…. "all the world’s a stage"
