As You Like It

OPENING NIGHT TICKETS JUST £15.00

Stafford Shakespeare proudly presents AS YOU LIKE IT in Summer 2027.

Often called The Bard’s quintessential comedy, this warm-hearted tale of love gone astray – and back again – has delighted audiences for centuries.

Follow Rosalind as she flees persecution in the royal court and escapes to the magical Forest of Arden.

Along with her loyal cousin Celia, her fool Touchstone, and her potential suitor Orlando, the group of loveable characters shed their social statuses and identities.

Through clever disguises, chirpy debates, and multiple interwoven romances, love brings everyone together for a memorable finale that will leave you all aglow.

‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players’ (Act 2, Scene 7)

Join us for this fantastic family adventure packed with laughter, music and magical moments.

Early booking advised – tickets just £6.00!

He feels he’s earned it, but the world has other plans for him. Come, hear the conquistador of petty gripes air his grievances with a world hell bent on irritating the bejeezus out of us all and, who knows, perhaps it will make you feel better about your own bouts of impotent rage.

Tommy Cooper – Have I Got Time for More?

Tommy Cooper, one of the greatest ever comedians, is back!

Expertly performed by Phil Hoyles – the UK’s Number One impersonator – he brings you all of the ‘tom’-foolery, jokes, songs, laughs, magic, failed magic, and energy, that the original funnyman presented all those years ago!

Renowned theatre magazine “The Stage” describes Phil’s portrayal as “a carbon copy in look, voice and humour” and “as near to the genuine article as you can get”!

He’s got the height, the laugh and the Fez – all we need is you!

Come along and join us for a trip down memory lane, a jolly good laugh and an evening of belly-aching nostalgia.

This show is also being produced by Cattle Productions Ltd. who have a distinguished reputation in the revival and recreation of classic comedy, ensuring that these true icons are never forgotten.

We are also supporting local charity: Staffordshire Women’s Aid from the proceeds.
