Join Queenswood Country Park as they present open air theatre for the first time! MadCap Theatre Productions, who have a long history of performing in Hereford, visit the county with their national (and critically acclaimed) tour of As You Like It! on Sunday, August 6.

Established in 2012, Worcestershire based MadCap Theatre Productions have developed an impressive national reputation of producing funny, fast-paced and entertaining theatre with a lot of lively ‘MadCap’ flair. Acclaimed for their ‘joyous enthusiasm’, ‘comedic brilliance’ and their ability to bring out the ‘brilliance of the text’; the company is fast becoming one to watch!

With a grass roots approach and a healthy love and respect for the text; children, adults, Shakespeare fans and those who typically shy away from the Bard will not be disappointed. Combining the original text with a modern expression of humour, music and physicality, MadCaps’ primary aim is to make Shakespeare understandable and enjoyable.

The play, As You Like it, is the original romantic comedy, and stars the timeless characters of Rosalind and Orlando as they overcome banishment and find adventure in the Forest of Arden! Full of dazzling dialogue, comedy, intrigue and some colourful country folk, it is the perfect play for a summer’s evening.

The company invite audiences to bring picnics and their own seating/rugs and enjoy an evening in the grounds. Emma Leigh, the company's artistic director added "there is something idyllic about seeing an open air Shakespeare played against some of Hereford's most stunning surroundings”.
