The play is a story about one of Shakespeare’s greatest heroines and a love so grand, the play’s heroine is willing to break all the rules of love to win the boy. This production sees Peter Evans and John Bell working together for the last time as Artistic Directors of Bell Shakespeare, with Peter directing and John performing the melancholy role of Jaques, reciting one of Shakespeare’s most famous passages; ‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.’
With Set Designer Michael Hankin and Costume Designer Kate Aubrey they’ll be creating a forest wonderland that will include over 5,500 flowers with tailored, eclectic costuming inspired by the ’30s, ’50s and ’60s. The mood of this production will be further enriched by Lighting Designer Paul Jackson, and Composer Kelly Ryall’s work.
