After our road
trip to The Square in 2013, Manawatu Summer Shakespeare returns to
Victoria Esplanade in 2014 for its 12th annual production with one of
the Bard's best loved and liveliest comedies.
As You Like It is perfectly suited for outdoor presentation, being largely set in the Forest of Arden, and is set to be a vibrant and engaging production. It is directed this year by Grant Mouldey, who has been working overseas - including directing a segment of the Paralympics Opening Ceremony in London. Costume design will be by Sofie Welvaert whose costumes for Dunedin Globe Theatre's "Macbeth" recently won the city's theatre award in the category, and it features a cast and production team that combines well-established and award winning crew and performers as well as Summer Shakespeare debutantes. With all this the show promises to continue the excellence that Manawatu audiences have come to expect. As ever, entry is by koha, making Summer Shakespeare the city's most affordable quality entertainment.
