As You Like It

By William Shakespeare

As you like it? We’re sure you’ll love it.

 

After a ten-year break, we’re bringing back the Bard. Our bright and breezy re-telling of Shakespeare’s witty rom-com is a perfect way to banish the winter blues and welcome the rites of spring. There’s wrestling, cross-dressing and coupling aplenty as young lovers, Rosalind and Orlando, fall for each other against a backdrop of political chicanery and family fallout.

“How can I go to heaven if I don't know who I am?” says Ernest to his daughter, Lynne, when his niggling and worsening memory problems are finally diagnosed as Alzheimer’s Disease.

But he also has a plan: to leave a vital imprint of who he is. Lynne is to be the keeper of his memory, the guardian of their past.

Join them on their journey; share their hopes, fears, smiles, strength and tears , and arrive with them as they seize the last memory and a carpe diem hope.

Lasting approximately 1 hour, this poignant play is inspired by a real life story and explores how it’s possible to extract joy from the pain, and laughter from the tears, whilst experiencing or supporting someone with dementia.

Following the performance there will be a short interval, where you can relax with a drink in the bar, before an optional discussion and Q&A session with the actors and writer. You are very welcome to share your own experiences around the subject if you wish to.

 

* 60% of the proceeds from ticket sales for this performance of The Last Memory will be donated to a local dementia related charity (at the time of writing the exact charity is still being confirmed). The remaining 40% will go to Fulneck Dramatic Society and will be used to support their non-profit work promoting the arts in Pudsey, encouraging community involvement in drama, and maintaining Fulneck Theatre. Please note, any online / telephone booking fees are retained by TicketSource. Donations made to the Theatre Heritage Fund during the online or telephone booking process will go to Fulneck Dramatic Society.
