Ozact's 'As You Like It'

Ozact presents As You Like It, Shakespeare’s funniest comedy, at the majestic Coolart Wetlands and Homestead, one of Victoria’s historic mansions situated adjacent to extensive wetlands and coastal woodlands. Built in 1895, it is surrounded by a spectacular garden of sweeping lawns, majestic European trees, rose and herb gardens – an ideal location for a Shakespearean outing.

Exiled by the wretched Duke Frederick, Rosalind and Celia are cast out into the forest. There they find challenges, adventure, and love, as city meets country - and that's just the start!

As You Like It showcases one of Shakespeare's greatest character ensembles. There's an uninhibited Fool, a spunky no-nonsense country girl, a thoroughly depressed Lord, a liberated exiled Duke, and many, many more - all with the shared goal of finding their place in the world.

Ozact’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s most underrated comedy will bring the play to life in some of Victoria's most interesting and spectacular locations, from the Mornington Peninsula all the way to the Grampians, all with the help of some of Australia's greatest performers.

Prepare yourself for romance, action, and lots and lots of laughs. The troupe are so happy to be back! So dust off the folding chairs and join us for some Shakespeare in the Great Outdoors this Autumn.
