Shakespeare’s glorious comedy of love and change comes to the NT for the first time in over 30 years, with Rosalie Craig (The Light Princess, London Road, Macbeth at Manchester International Festival) as Rosalind.

With her father the Duke banished and in exile, Rosalind and her cousin Celia leave their lives in the court behind them and journey into the Forest of Arden.

There, released from convention, Rosalind experiences the liberating rush of transformation. Disguising herself as a boy, she embraces a different way of living and falls spectacularly in love.

The full cast is Leon Annor, Philip Arditti, Joe Bannister (Orlando), Mark Benton (Strictly Come Dancing as Touchstone), Paul Chahidi (as Jaques), Jonathan Coote, Rosalie Craig, Jonathan Dryden Taylor, Fra Fee, Patsy Ferran (as Celia), Hazel Gardner, Patrick Godfrey, Nathan Ives-Moiba, Ellie Kirk, Gemma Lawrence, Siobhán McSweeney, Ken Nwosu, Ekow Quartey, John Ramm, Jay Saighal, Alan Williams and Leo Wringer. The production will have set designs by Lizzie Clachan, costumes by Christina Cunningham, lighting by Jon Clark, music by Orlando Gough, movement by Jonathan Goddard, sound by Carolyn Downing and fight direction by Kate Waters.
